Yohanna negotiations confirmed, Brighton bid €22-23 million

Brighton in talks for Yohanna

Brighton have made a formal bid for 18-year-old winger Zadok Yohanna, and AIK have confirmed negotiations are underway. The offer is reported to be in the €22-23 million range (1). That kind of money would make it a club-record sale. For a team sitting 10th after a 0–3 home loss to Sirius, losing their brightest young talent is another gut punch.

Sales target confirmed for summer

Recruitment chief Miika Takkula said plainly: "Jag har en målsumma", I have a sales target (2). The club has a number they need to hit this summer window. That means more exits are likely, not just Yohanna. With Bersant Celina already gone and the squad mid-reshuffle, it is going to be a chaotic few weeks.

Fan reactions

The mood among supporters is split. Some are stunned by the size of the Yohanna bid, over 130 million SEK net, excluding bonuses, and see it as a deal the club cannot refuse. Others are just exhausted by the constant churn of talent leaving mid-season with the team already in 10th and reeling from the Sirius humiliation. Read the full discussion on Reddit.
