Rumors had been circulating about Simon Olsson's potential move to AIK, but Elfsborg ultimately emerged victorious in securing the midfielder. The 27-year-old, who had previously been with Elfsborg before transferring to Heerenveen in the Netherlands in 2022, is set to make his return to his former club. Elfsborg succeeded in securing Olsson's transfer following extensive negotiations, resulting in a long-term contract that will keep him at the club through the 2029 season. Olsson reportedly expressed his excitement about returning, saying that Elfsborg feels like home and he is eager to work with the team again. Stefan Andreasson, the club's chief, mentioned that bringing Olsson back had seemed impossible just weeks prior, but persistent efforts led to a successful agreement.
