From Scudetto hero to Denmark: Billing is a new player for Midtjylland

A small piece of Napoli's fourth Scudetto flies to Denmark: Philip Billing at 29 years old leaves the Premier League and returns to his homeland. to Midtjylland. The midfielder, paid 5 million by the Danish team, had ended up out of the squad at Bournemouth, where after many seasons and 182 appearances, he ended up out of the squad with Andoni Iraola, with whom love never blossomed. When he left Napoli in June, he hoped for a possible return in blue, as did the fans who had grown fond of him after the goal against Inter that earned the sensational draw: many consider it the 'goal that earned the Scudetto'. Despite this, the company preferred to focus on other profiles, definitively letting go of the Danish player of Nigerian origin.

In the pre-season he also scored a great goal in a friendly with Bournemouth, which however did not earn him a stay with the Cherries. Midtjylland is thrilled to have signed a player of this caliber, as we can see from the words of the club's Sporting Director, Kristian Bach Bak: "When a player with experiences in the Premier League and Serie A chooses FC Midtjylland, it confirms that we are on the right track. Philip is in the prime of his career, brings intensity and quality to our group and will become a reference point for his teammates. It's a purchase that clearly demonstrates our ambitions, both in Denmark and in Europe".
