Umeå will offer Marta multi-year contract

Britta Åkerlund, Umeå's general manager, says that Umeå will leave their final offer to Marta's agent Fabiano Farah on Friday and it will be a multi year contract, according to other sources a two year deal with an option for a third.
"I simply refuse to have an autumn like this again, it takes an incredibly lot of time and energy".
Åkerlund also confirms that LDB FC Malmö, who recently also submitted a contract offer to Marta, earlier this fall offered to help Umeå finance a Marta deal, just to keep her in Sweden. But, she says, they demanded too many things in return.

The decision from the local media concern Västerbottenskuriren AB to sponsor a contract with Marta helps a lot, but is not enough. But it seems to make it easier to talk to other potential contributors and Umeå are talking to several local companies.

In the midst of all this, it is reported that Umeå's result for the 2008 season probably will end in a loss at about SEK 500,000 - mostly because of a decrease in ticket sales. This will however not have any effect on the negotiations with Marta, since a contract with her will be financed independantly.
