Höjbjerg keeps OM waiting, will only leave on his terms

Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg is open to a move, but only on his terms. According to L'Équipe, the 31-year-old rejected a three-year contract from Newcastle earlier this week that matched his OM salary.

The Denmark international, capped 97 times with 11 goals, has set a high bar throughout this window.

Interest from Saudi club Al-Diriyah and from Atalanta Bergamo has not tempted him. At Atalanta he was targeted by sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli.

His stance leaves OM waiting as he weighs up proposals that meet his conditions.

For now, none of the approaches have met his expectations.
