Leicester City forced into £500k transfer payment to the delight of summer signing

Mads Hermansen welcomed Leicester City’s promotion with the added benefit of earning more money for his former club, Brondby.

Hermansen returned to his first senior club last week and will exercise among his former teammates to maintain

his health ahead of the European Championships this summer.

The custodian is expected to be named as one of Kasper Schmeichel‘s assistants in the Denmark squad.

He returned not only as a Championship winner, but also with an additional £500,000 in transfer fees for Brondby,

according to Danish media. This brings the total transfer fee paid by City to £6.5 million.

“Everything I can give back to Brondby in one way or another, I am happy about,” Hermansen stated.

“They are the ones who developed me as a player and provided me with the opportunity to demonstrate my abilities.

I owe Brondby a lot of money, and whatever they get back, I’ll be delighted.”

Brondby is still in title contention in the Danish Superliga, with two matches remaining.

Despite the pressure of a title chase, their manager, Jesper Sorensen, took time out to compliment Hermansen’s performance at City.

By establishing himself as City’s uncontested number one, he has become the new Schmeichel.

And he may do the same for Denmark, as City’s former captain, now 37, 14 years older than Hermansen.

Sorensen stated, “Mads has had a fantastic year.” He has not simply taken tiny steps, but very large steps.

They can be difficult to accept, but he has demonstrated the traits.

“There were high expectations for Leicester after they were relegated and had to return.

Pressure has been applied. And goalkeeping might be difficult, but Mads has done an excellent job.

“There are goalkeepers on the Danish national team whose contracts are about to expire.

I can easily picture Mads taking over and filling the role.

“What you can say about Mads is that he has performed in an unusual situation and made some significant steps.

He seemed to be poised to take some fresh, huge leaps.

Since they will come when he has to be challenged in the Premier League in the coming season.”
