Aron Palmarsson continues his career in Barcelona

As we have informed our Supporters and the public on the 24 July, Aron Palmarsson, regardless of his live contract, informed our head coach Ljubomir Vranjes in a message that he will not participate in the first training of the season, instead he travels home. This counts as serious contract violation, because of which, Veszprém Handball Team Co. Ltd. broke up the contract of the player and issued a disciplinary procedure at the Hungarian Handball Federation, after which procedure the player could have been given a 2-year suspension.

 

 

Since Aron Palmarsson has already been in contract with FC Barcelona from the 1 July, 2018, Mr. David Barrufet Bofill informed us that their club – disregarding the fact that they strongly disapprove the behavior of the player – would be willing to pay a compensation instead of Aron Palmarsson to Veszprém Handball Team Co. Ltd., in the case of Veszprém’s approval of letting the player step on court in the colors of the Catalan club in this season.

 

After the Icelandic player admitted that he made a serious mistake, Veszprém Handball Team Co. Ltd. was willing to go into negotiations with FC Barcelona, in order to not break an outstanding player’s career in half. Because of the negotiations between the two clubs, Veszprém Handball Team Co. Ltd. asked the Hungarian Handball Federation many times to postpone the disciplinary hearing of the player.

 

FC Barcelona payed the record amount of compensation in the days, while Veszprém Handball Team Co. Ltd. issued the termination of the disciplinary procedure and contributed to the Hungarian Handball Federation to give out the playing license of Aron Palmarsson to FC Barcelona. The agreement between the two clubs has a secret closure about the sum of the compensation, which is much higher than the ones mentioned in media.

 

Aron Palmarsson seriously offended the supporters of Telekom Veszprém and his teammates with his reckless decision. It is undeniable however, that while he was the part of the team, his exceptional abilities helped Veszprém many times.

 

The clashes of the two teams were always the highlighted events of the international handball community. During the Palmarsson case, the leaders of both clubs kept the interests of the handball sport in mind while keeping the good relationship between the two clubs.
