From Scudetto hero to Denmark: Billing joins Midtjylland | OneFootball

A few months ago, he celebrated the Scudetto with Napoli, and now he leaves history behind to go to Denmark as an excess: this is the story of Philip Billing, who after nearly ten seasons leaves Bournemouth and returns to his homeland, to Midtjylland. The Napoli fans fondly remember him for the goal against Inter that allowed the team to draw the match.

From Scudetto hero to Denmark: Billing is a new player for Midtjylland

A small piece of Napoli's fourth Scudetto flies to Denmark: Philip Billing, at 29, leaves the Premier League and returns home to Midtjylland. The midfielder, bought for 5 million by the Danish team, had been sidelined at Bournemouth, where after many seasons and 182 appearances, he was left out with Andoni Iraola, with whom the love never blossomed. When he left Napoli in June, he hoped for a possible return to the team, as did the fans who had grown fond of him after the goal against Inter that earned the sensational draw: many consider it the 'goal that won the Scudetto.' Despite this, the club preferred to focus on other profiles, definitively letting go of the Danish player of Nigerian descent.

In the pre-season, he also scored a great goal in a friendly with Bournemouth, which, however, did not secure his stay with the Cherries. Midtjylland is thrilled to have signed a player of this caliber, as we can see from the words of the club's sporting director, Kristian Bach Bak: “When a player with experience in the Premier League and Serie A chooses FC Midtjylland, it confirms that we are on the right path. Philip is in the prime of his career, brings intensity and quality to our group, and will become a point of reference for his teammates. It is a signing that clearly demonstrates our ambitions, both in Denmark and in Europe.”
