Csongvai nears Saint-Étienne exit as Matthys arrives

Csongvai to Saint-Étienne, deal close

Áron Csongvai is on his way out. AIK's Hungarian midfielder is closing in on a move to AS Saint-Étienne, with a fee around €1m and a contract running to 2027 (1) (3). The 24-year-old spoke about it plainly: "profiter au maximum de sa carrière", he wants to make the most of his career (1). A key midfielder gone, right as the window demands reinforcements.

Hervé Matthys signs, free transfer to 2028

AIK moved fast to bring in a replacement on the back line. Left-footed centre-back Hervé Matthys has signed on a free transfer, contract through 2028 (2). The Belgian arrives with no fee attached, a sensible piece of business for a squad that had twelve players unavailable just days ago.
