Cardiff City manager Brian Barry-Murphy has confirmed that Jesper Daland is in talks to leave the club this summer after being left out of the League One club’s squad. He also provided an update on potential incomings before the September the 1st deadling.
The defender only joined the club a year ago from Cercle Brugge, but has struggled to make an impact in his first season. The player came under some scrutiny as the club’s relegation was confirmed. He has now been left out of the last two games entirely, the Carabao Cup fixture against Swindon Town and the league game against Port Vale.
This omission has caused many to question whether he could be on his way out of the club this summer.
Brian Barry-Murphy Confirms Cardiff City Exit Talks
Manager Brian Barry-Murphy was discussing the future of Daland and stated:
“Jesper’s in conversations with other clubs, so he’s not available,”
He also provided updates on Ethan Horvath and Jak Alnwick
“I don’t know if they’re close to leaving. I don’t think it’s right for me to say.
“Nathan (Trott) played, Matt Turner was on the bench. Ethan and Jack trained yesterday. And Jesper trained brilliantly yesterday.
“They’re here and they’re very much our players. So I think it’s disrespectful of me to speak about them in any other sense apart from saying I don’t know.”
Quiet Window So Far for Relegated Side
Cardiff have had a quiet window so far, despite their relegation to the third tier. They have only been able to secure one new signing, goalkeeper Nathan Trott.
On incomings he stated via Wales Online
“We want to be a very dynamic team who excites the supporters, so the players that we bring into the club will possess those qualities to bring the game that we want to show to life.
“Even in Nathan Trott, he’s a very dynamic keeper who will improve a lot as we progress. And those traits will be evident in every player where we managed to be in to the club.”
With the end of the window fast approaching and the new boss trying to create a team capable of bouncing straight back it could be now or never.
