Djurgarden has given serious thought to the idea of acquiring Niklas Eliasson from AEK. Their interest has caused the transfer fee to rise, which was initially anticipated to be about 2.5 million euros but has now nearly doubled. Alongside Djurgarden, AIK also assessed their chances of signing Eliasson, which has added to the increased competition and subsequent rise in the player's valuation. On the other hand, Malmo, which was also interested, has pulled out of the competition, leaving Djurgarden and AIK as the main contenders for the 29-year-old winger.
