Police investigating match-fixing plot linked to AIK
Swedish police are investigating a planned match-fixing attempt connected to an AIK match in 2023. Three players allegedly conspired to lose on purpose, aiming to force out then-head coach Andreas Brännström (2) (3). The plot reportedly never materialised on the pitch, but the investigation is active. This is a serious story for your club, one that cuts to the core of a turbulent period.
Bazdar deal collapses
Samed Bazdar will not be joining AIK. Negotiations with Real Zaragoza have broken down completely (5) (6) (9). St. Gallen had a €2m bid rejected, and Sturm Graz saw a loan offer turned down. AIK's own talks followed the same path. The striker stays in Spain for now.
Matthys: here to play football
Hervé Matthys made his debut off the bench in the 2–0 win against GAIS, and the compliments started rolling in. The new centre-back kept it short: "Thanks for the compliments, but I'm here to play football" (4). Exactly what you want to hear from a defender.
AIK eye Kongsvinger's Job
AIK have registered interest in Daniel Job, a 20-year-old talent at Norwegian side Kongsvinger. The numbers back it up: six goals and eight assists in 14 appearances (7). Bigger European clubs are circling too, which makes this one a long shot.
Olofsson returns early from Moss
Wilmer Olofsson is coming home. AIK have recalled the 20-year-old defender from his loan at Moss FK a week before it was set to expire (8) (10). Recruitment chief Miika Takkula said: "Wilmer has had a good time in Norway, gathering more experience and valuable minutes. We look forward to welcoming him back to Karlberg and the AIK family" (8).
