Abdullah Iqbal has stated that he wants to leave Mjällby, confirming there have been both bids and interest from clubs abroad. Iqbal said that after not getting to leave last summer, he understood it as an agreement that he would be permitted to move on now. Mjällby has received one bid, but it was not close to the club's valuation of Iqbal. The club's sporting director, Hasse Larsson, is not interested in letting Iqbal leave and states that he will stay. Iqbal, who has three years left on his contract, says he believes it will be very difficult to be sold, but the transfer window is still open and the situation could change. He stated he will respect his contract regardless.

Kasimpasa is pursuing the signing of Abdullah Iqbal, a 23-year-old Pakistani international centre-back, and has submitted a bid of 1 million dollars. Iqbal joined his current club, Mjällby AIF, in August 2024 for a reported fee of €200,000 and his contract runs until the end of 2028. The player, who has 19 caps for Pakistan, has a current market value of €2.00m according to Transfermarkt. Other clubs such as Columbus Crew, Ferencváros, and Gent have also been linked with him.
