“Yes, it is clear that there is interest in him and I can confirm that we have had a dialogue with Midtjylland, I can do that. Then if we are in ongoing negotiations, I will leave unsaid,” he said.
“It is clear that we value Chilufya highly. We have been in contact with several clubs and discussed it. There are many parameters to take into account when it comes to a transition and we are probably not quite there yet. We know that there is interest from a few different places and we have been in contact with a number of clubs but no ongoing negotiations right now.”
“Yes absolutely. Is it good for Djurgården, good for the player and good for Djurgården, then you will find an agreement. You do that.
