According to Aftonbladet, Herman Johansson had great interest from Norwegian club Molde in the summer. There was a small wish from the player to look around and get the chance to do something else. His club was clear that they had given themselves a chance and wanted to see where it would lead, and Johansson understood and quickly accepted it.

Molde has shown interest in acquiring Herman Johansson from Mjällby, indicating their readiness to invest a substantial sum for his transfer. However, it remains uncertain whether Mjällby and their sporting director, Hasse Larsson, are open to selling the 27-year-old, who has netted four goals and provided three assists over 13 matches this season. Molde's interest stems from their need to bolster their squad, as they currently sit 10th in the Norwegian top division. Sportbladet reported that Molde's coach, Per-Mathias Högmo, is eager to integrate Johansson into his team, emphasizing the club's ambition to improve their performance, having previously achieved top league standings but now possessing only 14 points from 11 games.
