David Kristjan Olafsson, a 30-year-old Icelandic left back, has an agreement with AEL Novibet and is expected to arrive in Greece on Sunday to formally complete the transfer. The transfer was close to not being completed, although AEL Novibet had been interested in Olafsson for days. Gianni Atanasov, a teammate of Olafsson at Cracovia, was important in convincing him to accept the offer from AEL Novibet. Olafsson made 52 appearances for Cracovia in recent years, scoring 5 goals and providing 7 assists.

Press spokesman Kamil Jagodyński communicated that Davíd Kristján Ólafsson, a 30-year-old Icelandic midfielder, received permission from the club to conduct talks regarding a transfer to a new team and to undergo medical tests. Jagodyński stated that David Olafsson got permission for talks and possible medical tests connected with changing clubs, which was the reason for his absence in the squad going to the camp in Belek. Ólafsson, who has been capped 15 times for Iceland, scoring one goal, joined Cracovia in February 2024 and has a contract until June 30, 2026. In the current 2025/2026 Ekstraklasa season, he has made 7 appearances without scoring a goal or providing an assist. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €500k.
