AIK has also seriously considered the possibility of acquiring Niklas Eliasson from AEK. This interest, along with that of Djurgarden, has contributed to the increase in the expected transfer fee. Initially, AEK seemed willing to agree to a transfer for around 2.5 million euros, but due to the heightened interest, the fee has now almost doubled. The increased competition for the 29-year-old player has significantly impacted the transfer negotiations.
