Pedersen confirmed the club had received an offer for 27-year-old Swedish midfielder Svante Ingelsson but turned it down because it was considered insufficient for his quality. The former Sweden U21 international, who has 14 caps and 2 goals at that level, joined Sheffield Wednesday in July 2024 and has made 27 appearances in the Championship this season, scoring one goal. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €1.00m, and Portsmouth has been recently linked with a move for the player.
