Bony: Swedish second-tier club Orgryte turn down offer to sign former Premier League star

Swedish Superettan club Orgryte rejected an offer to sign free agent Wilfried Bony, the club's sporting director Igor Krulj has confirmed.

Since he left Saudi Professional League side Al Ittihad last November, the 32-year-old is yet to find a new club and he has been training with League Two club Newport County to maintain his fitness.

In a chat with the club’s social media channel, Krulj disclosed the Ivory Coast international popped up on their transfer radar some time ago but they did not consider bringing him to Sweden because the move was ‘unrealistic’.
