Abdullah Iqbal told Expressen he has informed Mjällby that he is ready to move, stating there have been conversations and offers for him. Iqbal suggested that ten times the 200,000 euro Mjällby signed him for would be a very good deal for the club. However, Mjällby sporting director Hasse Larsson told Expressen that the club has no intention of selling Iqbal this winter. Larsson added that Iqbal must accept he cannot leave at this time, as he has a contract until the end of 2028 and the club needs him.

Ferencváros is one of several clubs interested in signing Abdullah Iqbal, a 23-year-old central defender with Pakistani and Danish nationality from Swedish champions Mjällby and captain of the Pakistani national team. AA Gent had shown interest in the player, but Turkish club Kasimpasa is making an effort to sign him and has made a bid of 1 million dollars. Columbus Crew is another competitor, making it increasingly difficult for Gent to secure the transfer. Iqbal, who has 19 caps for Pakistan, joined Mjällby in August 2024 for a fee that was reported to be €200,000. His contract is valid until the end of 2028 and his current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €2.00m.
