AaB showed interest in Icelandic centre-back Hjörtur Hermannsson, 30, earlier in the transfer window. They made a concrete attempt to sign him by offering a contract, which he reportedly rejected according to Fotbolti.net. Hermannsson, a former Brøndby player who won a Danish championship in 2021 during his five seasons with the club, has played in Greece for Volos, where he has participated in 20 matches. Before joining Volos, he also had stints in Pisa and Carrarese. His contract with the Greek club runs until June 2026, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €350k.
