Race against time for Kovacs deal
AIK are pushing to get Robin Kovacs signed, but the clock is working against you. The deal is time-sensitive and the club is scrambling to finalize it before the window closes (1). No details yet on what's holding it up, but this one could go either way.
Yohanna's Brighton salary revealed
Zadok Yohanna's record move to Brighton keeps getting bigger. New figures suggest the 18-year-old will earn around 36 million SEK per year at his new club, roughly 3 million SEK a month (2). That is life-changing money for a kid who made only 18 senior appearances for AIK. The deal, worth between 270 and 305 million kronor, remains the biggest Nordic transfer ever.
Expert: AIK's finances still a structural worry

Magnus Forslund, a business lecturer at Linnaeus University, calls it a structural concern and says sales like this let the club keep operating rather than fixing anything fundamentally (3). The Q1 numbers were in the red, and without the record sale the picture would look considerably darker.
