Midtjylland wants to keep Olsson: "Interesting player for us"

TRANSFERS In addition to Bogdan Mykhaylichenko, Kristoffer Olsson also seems to be able to permanently transfer to his loan club. Midtjylland director Svend Graversen says in the Danish press that his club would like to keep Olsson. "We rarely get the chance to bring in a player of that level," he said.


After one, not very successful, season with Anderlecht, Olsson moved to Midtjylland on loan last summer. Between 2014 and January 2017, he already played for the Danish club and then he broke through completely. This season, all competitions combined, he has already played 33 duels for the Danish club. He scored three times and gave five assists. Enough to convince his bosses.

"Given his level and his status as a Swedish international, he is always interesting for Midtjylland," director Graversen told Danish Tipsbladet. "The figures transfer price and contract have to be right of course, but for us this is very interesting because it is rare that we can bring in a player of that level."

Midtjylland has a purchase option of 3.5 million euros, but Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet reported earlier that it wants to try to acquire Olsson cheaper from Anderlecht. 2.9 million euros was mentioned. "Kristoffer likes being here and we are happy with him," Graversen continued. "We'll see what happens. It's three parties that have to come to an agreement."

Olsson is still under contract with Anderlecht until mid-2025. Purple White paid four million euros to Krasnodar to recruit the 43-time international in 2021.
