Berglund lays out the Malmö rebuild as Botheim and Rösler head for the exit

Berglund: "It has been a bit scattered"

Your new sporting director has been on the job 18 days. Philip Berglund, 34, laid out the rebuild plan and did not sugarcoat it. "It has been a bit scattered the last year and a half," he said (1). The Emmanuel Ekong deal collapsed at the medical, which Berglund confirmed openly. When a deal fails at that stage, he said, you do not force it (1). The focus now is tightening the squad profile and stopping the drift. ## Botheim on the market, Garcia is target one Malmö FF plan to sell Erik Botheim before the window shuts. Diego Garcia is the first-choice replacement (2). The club expect a deal to go through before the deadline. Botheim has been a regular, but the new sporting leadership wants a different profile up front. ## Noah John out 1–2 weeks with hamstring Noah John injured his hamstring against Brommapojkarna and kept playing. Now he faces 1–2 weeks out (3). You beat BP 2–1 on Sunday, but losing John adds to the winger shortage Helstrup is already dealing with. ## Rösler sold to AGF Århus Colin Rösler is gone. The defender has signed a three-year deal with Danish side AGF Århus (4). He was already absent from the squad at BP, and Helstrup confirmed the move after the match. Another body out the door as Berglund reshapes the squad.
