Defender Sanna Valkonen tells local daily Västerbottenskuriren that she has decided to leave Umeå after this season. She has an agreement with a Stockholm club, but doesn't want to reveal the name of the club yet, since all papers aren't signed. The deal is for a full-time professional position, just like she has with Umeå. Sanna also says that she will take a break from the Finnish national team next year and see if she wants to continue to play in 2008.

EDIT: We can replace Stockholm with AIK. The northern Stockholm club happily announced Valkonen's signing at a press conference earlier today.

Bälinge has been in touch with Umeå's star midfielder Anne Mäkinen and will have continued talks next week, after Umeå's second UEFA Women's Cup semifinal match against Kolbotn. Bälinge's Conny Sjöberg seems excited and says that Mäkinen is the second biggest transfer you can make in the Swedish league, only Marta would be bigger. She is not only a great player, she would also be a great leader and role-model for Bälinge's young players. Sjöberg finally adds that Bälinge wouldn't have started talks with Mäkinen if she hadn't hinted that she might be interested.
