Franklin Tebo Transfer from Sarpsborg 08 to Crvena Zvezda
B92 reports on Tebo's transfer to Red Star Belgrade. Tebo, a central defender, has signed a three-year contract with Red Star Belgrade, with an option to extend for an additional season. Financial details were not disclosed. He expressed pride and happiness upon joining the club, praising its rich history and the warm welcome from the club's people. Tebo is known for his aerial duels and ball skills, and he plays with heart. He has heard great things about the club's incredible fans and is eager to achieve new victories with them.
Frenklin Tebo is nearing a move to Red Star Belgrade, with only medical tests and the official announcement remaining to finalize the transfer. The move is primarily driven by Tebo's eagerness to join Red Star Belgrade, rather than Sarpsborg's willingness to let him go. Norwegian media outlet 'Nettavisen' reported that Tebo was absent from training on Thursday, and the club's management was visibly unhappy with the situation. Sarpsborg is set to receive 40 million Norwegian kroner (about 3.6 million euros) from Red Star Belgrade, which surpasses earlier reports by Serbian media. Despite Sarpsborg's reluctance to sell the Nigerian defender, Tebo is determined to make the transfer happen quickly to secure more playing and training opportunities. He has already boarded a flight to Belgrade, aiming to support Red Star Belgrade in their Champions League match against Pafos from Cyprus.
Sarpsborg is reportedly set to earn 30 million kroner from the transfer of 25-year-old Nigerian centre-back Franklin Tebo Uchenna, including additional bonuses and performance-related add-ons. It has been reported that Crvena Zvezda has been interested in Tebo for a long time, and after Sarpsborg initially rejected their proposal, the Serbian club returned with an improved offer. Sources indicate that all parties involved are confident the deal, which would see the player move from a contract lasting until the end of 2027, will be finalized in the coming days. The transfer is expected to provide Tebo, who has a market value of €1.00m according to Transfermarkt, with an opportunity to compete at a higher level, potentially in the Champions League.
