The recently departed Norwegian could be on the hunt for a new team just a month after signing for Polish Premier League side Rakow, according to sources in the country.
Przegląd Sportowy claim that Rakow is ready to terminate the goalkeeper’s contract after it was claimed that Klaesson did not arrive from Leeds in top form and was subsequently ordered to train and play with the fourth division reserve team.
While sources in Norway say Klaesson’s condition has improved after club bosses told him to lose up to eight kilos, head coach Marek Papszun remains unhappy and a sacking could be considered.
Klaesson’s arrival is said to give Ekstraklasa club Rakow a “natural successor to Vladan Kovacevic”, although it is now believed that the signing of the 23-year-old could prove to be a “false start”. The goalkeeper was not in Rakow’s squad for the match against Lech Poznan last week and if reports are to be believed, he may not get the chance to make his debut for the club he signed a three-year contract with last month.
The Norwegian has only made a handful of appearances in England since joining Leeds from Valerenga in the summer of 2021. A former Under-21 international, Klaesson expressed in an interview when he signed for Rakow that he wanted to get his career back on track and took a pay cut to do so.
But in response to the club’s conduct over the past month, which includes punishing the goalkeeper, Klaesson has reportedly returned to Norway, according to Nettavisen, and informed his representatives that he wants to change clubs.
Rumors in Poland claim that Klaesson was spotted at a fast food restaurant, which was passed on to Rakov management and is believed to have upset the club’s hierarchy, although these reports have not been confirmed.
