August Priske Transfer from Djurgården to Birmingham City
August Priske has moved from Djurgårdens IF to Birmingham City after a few days of negotiations. According to the Swedish newspaper Expressen, Djurgårdens IF sports director Bosse Andersson said that it is their second biggest transfer of all time. He stated that the deal is good for Djurgården and August, and that there is a clear sporting plan for him, although they had a market where they could have received a better transfer fee. Andersson added that the deal puts the player at the centre and that Birmingham City is a great club. Bosse Andersson also stated that they had received concrete proposals and that August was able to talk to a number of clubs, but Birmingham was the club they talked to the most. He said that if August remains there long-term, it will be a great transfer with a fee and a bonus that they are very happy with. FC Midtjylland will receive 40% of the profit from the agreement. A few months ago, Bosse Andersson predicted a deal that would break the club's record, which would have meant a fee of more than €20m, but he has now accepted that he has not secured a record deal and that the Blues have paid less than half of that amount.
