If , it is likely only details remain in Deshorn Brown’s transfer to Oslo-based club VÃ¥lerenga in the Norwegian first division.

According to a Google-translated version of the report (I don’t speak Norwegian), VÃ¥lerenga’s managing director Stig-Ove Sandnes is in the United States to complete the deal.
Sandnes was spotted briefly at training in Commerce City on Wednesday in the company of Rapids VP of soccer operations and technical director Paul Bravo and several others. The group watched training briefly and inspected the Dick’s Sporting Goods Park grounds. Brown arrived late on Wednesday and was held out of training, but it was not immediately clear why.
The Rapids declined comment on the report Friday.
Brown is coming off back-to-back 10-goal seasons for Colorado, winning the club’s Golden Boot in each of his first two years, and would command a hefty transfer fee. He has 20 goals and 4 assists in 62 league appearances with the Rapids.
