In recent weeks, Viking and Kristiansund have been engaged in discussions regarding the potential transfer of Ruben Alte. Despite Kristiansund's rejection of offers deemed insufficient, Viking remains determined to continue their pursuit. The latest offer from Viking, reportedly just under five million Kroners, was turned down. Alte, while remaining committed to Kristiansund until an agreement is reached, is reportedly inclined to join Viking, who are currently leading the league and are favorites to win the title. Alte has become one of Kristiansund's key players, frequently participating in matches and playing a crucial role within the team, which explains Kristiansund's hesitance to sell him. At 25, Alte is entering the prime years of his career, making him a highly valuable player. Viking, eager to enhance their squad to uphold their high standards and increase their chances of clinching the league title, view Alte as a potential asset for achieving this objective. Despite the challenges faced in negotiations, Viking's resolve to secure Alte's transfer remains strong.
