Blåvitt discussed the return with Hysen – Göteborgs-Posten

IFK Göteborg wanted home Tobias Hysén.

But the 33-year-old chose to extend his contract with the Chinese Shanghai Dongya F.C..

– We had discussions about that he would come here in January 2016, says IFK’s sporting director Mats Gren to GP.

At the beginning of 2014 left Tobias Hysén IFK Göteborg. New club address was Chinese Shanghai Dongya F.C..

Ever since then, many blue-white supporters dreamed of top scorer will return.

And yes, there have been discussions.

– I have spoken with Tobbe all the time. And we had discussions about that he would come back in January 2016, says Mats Gren.

– Of course it would have been interesting to have him home.

Now it is not so. Not yet anyway.

Late Monday night came the news that 33-year-old will extend his contract in China over 2016.

– It was clear pretty early on that I would remain in China throughout 2015. Eriksson and the club did not want to drop me home, and with that in mind, we started a process to require an extension of my contract. A part of me was hoping that the club would just say flatly no, so I did not make the decision myself, but that did not happen, says striker for Sport blade.

According to data provided to the newspaper’s new contract worth around 14 million billion net per season.

– I will not comment any amount, but of course plays the role of the economy. I have during my career trying to make decisions based on how I feel and think, tried not to think too much about the economic. I turned down an extension in England (Sunderland), I declined to clubs when I was in Blåvitt because I wanted to stay at home. The money is still not the most important, but I’m the first to admit I changed my opinion on that point. I have become more aware of the economic, he tells Sporting blade and continues:

– I am 33 now and have been in the best of worlds three or four, maybe five, years left of my career. An injury can change that in a second. I do not feel like 25 anymore, just the head.

The new contract expires at the end of 2016.

Is it then return to IFK Gothenburg takes place? Will Tobias Hysén, then 35 years old, to get ready for the Olympics in 2017?

– It is impossible to say. It is too far in the future, says Mats Gren.

Tobias Hysén Sportbladet.

– I want to thank IFK Göteborg in all this. The club was extremely helpful to me during the tough time last year and the door has always been open. I am very grateful. I hope to reciprocate it a beautiful day, if not on the pitch as in other ways.
