Norway and Kolbotn midfielder Trine Rønning has decided to turn down the contract offer she recieved from Linköping FC. "Linköping looked good", she says, "but this is a championship season and I don't want to change clubs and maybe put my national team place at risk." But she keeps the door open: "I've told Linköping that, if then still want to, we can get in touch a year from now."

For Linköping this means that they still haven't found the new big name they are looking for. Umeå's Elaine might be a possibility. Marta, whom Umeå might have to let go, is not a realistic option, says sports director Bengt Ekholm.
