Towards the end of the transfer window, rumors emerged that 21-year-old Swedish-Iranian goalkeeper Elis Bishesari was on his way to Stockholm to sign for Hammarby. The speculation began after he was absent from a training session at Kamratgården, but Bishesari explained he was at home sick at the time. He stated that he found it strange how people focused on the story and that he was unaware of it until his parents, who are in Stockholm, contacted him after hearing from colleagues that a move was possibly happening. Bishesari added that he has an agreement with his agent not to be informed about anything unless it is concrete, and that his agent would have told him if there was any truth to the rumors. The Sweden U21 international, who has 11 caps for the side, joined IFK Göteborg in April 2024 and has a contract until the end of 2027; he has made 13 appearances in the Allsvenskan this season and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €1.80m.
