AEL Limassol cancels transfer of Norwegian midfielder Morten Bjorlo

AEL Limassol has officially cancelled the planned transfer of 30-year-old Norwegian midfielder Morten Bjorlo. The player, who previously played for Konyaspor in Turkey, had arrived in Cyprus to undergo medical examinations and finalize his contract, but the club unexpectedly decided to abandon the deal at the final stage.

The circumstances surrounding the collapse of the transfer remain unclear, as the club has not confirmed whether the decision was due to medical results or a disagreement over financial terms. Bjorlo, a veteran of several Norwegian clubs including Rosenborg and Fredrikstad, had been seeking an exit from Konyaspor due to alleged payment delays, a situation that reportedly prompted legal threats from the Turkish club. Following this failed acquisition, AEL Limassol is now actively searching for alternative options to strengthen its midfield as it continues its pre-season preparations.
