Several clubs, including Viborg, AGF, Sønderjyske, and Silkeborg, were interested in signing 24-year-old Nigerian striker Friday Etim before his summer return to Midtjylland following a period with Fredericia. Speaking to TV 2 Sport X, David Nielsen stated that while a brief period may have existed for other Superliga clubs to acquire Etim, he believes that opportunity has now passed. Nielsen also believes no other team in the league has a chance of buying him. Etim's contract with Midtjylland is valid until June 2029, and his market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €600k.
