Australia defender Michael Beauchamp has admitted it is likely he will leave Aalborg BK in the European summer after a horror first season in Denmark.On the same day that Beauchamp was left out of Pim Verbeek's extended Socceroos squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, it has been revealed Aalborg are prepared to sell the Australian.
The 28-year-old former Central Coast Mariners defender had moved to Denmark prior to the 2008-2009 season but endured a difficult campaign with injuries and suspension affecting his output as Aalborg failed miserably in their title defence.
Beauchamp told Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet recently: "It has certainly been a year to forget. The worst season in my football career."
And the Australian, who has been out of favour for Aalborg's last five matches, admitted yesterday there will be changes at AaB: "I have been told the club will bring in a new defence and that has meaning for me.
"Right now I do not know what to expect. I have no idea about next season."
The Socceroo still has two years to run on his Aalborg contract but Aalborg sports director Lynge Jakobsen revealed the club are willing to let him go.
"Beauchamp has had a very unfortunate start at AaB and he has not quite been able to convince us that he must be in the team," Jakobsen claimed.
"If there is an opportunity for Beauchamp to find something else, then I think we can say that we will not stand in his way."
