Albers revealed in December 2016 that he and the club had some difficulties about extending his contract. So the plan was to sell him in the January window, but however, he stayed in the club.{{cite web | url = http://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/silkeborg-vil-lytte-til-bud-paa-albers/ | title = Silkeborg vil lytte til bud på Albers | language = da | website = bold.dk | date = 17 January 2017 | access-date = 3 July 2019}} Albers was not happy with his stay at Silkeborg because he sat to many minutes on the bench. He went out to medias in May 2017 and said, that it was his last season in Silkeborg and he would leave the club in the summer window.{{cite web | url = http://www.bold.dk/fodbold/nyheder/albers-forlader-silkeborg-vil-ikke-gamble/ | title = Albers forlader Silkeborg: Vil ikke gamble | language = da | website = bold.dk | date = 18 May 2017 | access-date = 3 July 2019}}
