Esbjerg has transferred 26-year-old Dutch forward Tim Freriks to Viborg following a lengthy negotiation process. The transfer fee is slightly over three million kroner, with potential bonuses that could increase the total amount. For context, Transfermarkt estimates the player's value at €450k. Tim Freriks reportedly had a strong desire to challenge himself in the Superliga this season, which was a key factor in the decision to accept Viborg's offer. Esbjerg's sports director, Sebastian Brydegaard, mentioned that the compensation received is considered acceptable given Freriks' quality and age, aligning with the club's business model of developing players to strengthen both the team and club operations. Freriks' impressive record of 16 goals and five assists in 37 matches for Esbjerg highlighted his potential, making the transfer a strategic decision for both the player and the club, with Danish club OB also having shown interest in the player.
