Rosenborg sells Sapara

Rosenborg and the Turkish club MKE Ankaragücü have agreed about a transfer for Marek Sapara. The 28 year old Slovak has been a key player for Rosenborg since his arrival in 2006, and his passing and free kicks have at times been second to none in Norwegian football. He has had the playmaking role in Rosenborg's attacks, but has had problems with his ankle in the last year.

Sapara says he has mixed emotions about leaving the club, but has been clear on his wish to play in a bigger league, especially as he wants to play in the World Cup this summer, and has not wanted to renew his contract.

Sapara is well known for his beautiful free kicks:


"Oh ah Sapara" is a well known chant for the Rosenborg fans. (Inspired by Man Uniteds "Oh ah Cantona")
