Djurgårdens has found a new star defender in Isak Hien.
Several clubs in Europe are now looking for the 23-year-old.
The fact that 2019 Gold Champion, Marcus Danielson, has also returned to the club opens the door for a sale to be made.
We don’t rule out a deal in August, says sporting director Bos Anderson.
Djurgården tops the Allsvenskan summit and at the time of writing has five consecutive league wins. One of the team’s biggest exclamation points was midfielder Isaac Hain. The 23-year-old’s progress has not gone unnoticed in Europe.
– I am not hiding behind a chair that we have a dialogue with several clubs and that there are some interested. Djorgaarden’s sporting director says there’s always a risk when you’re in the middle of a season that players who have done well could be attractive to other leagues you’re starting out. Boss Anderson.
‘Doesn’t rule out a deal in August’
The fact that the club has also wound up with returning national team defender Marcus Danielson means the sale of Isaac Hein could be even more significant.
We will run the club for the long term and now we know Marcus is here. If the club is interested and that is good for all parties, we can make such a decision if we have substitutes in the squad. It’s easier to make such a decision if you’ve had the alternatives before and you don’t have the knife against the shelf to sell, Anderson says and continues:
The most important thing for Dejorgaarden and Isak is to perform here and now. I am absolutely convinced that the benefit will not diminish. I’m not ruling out a deal in August.
There are specific requests
Last year, Djurgården and Henn talked about trying to get time to play in Vasalund. The successful professional clubs in Europe this year are looking for a midfielder.
He handled it superbly and will continue to do so in the coming weeks. If it continues like this, it will be difficult for clubs to resist this type of player, says Boss Anderson.
Interested in selling it?
No, we want him to stay. We haven’t negotiated with anyone, but we know there is tangible interest at a very good level. Then it is clear that we have a dialogue with the player and follow that development.
What amounts are we talking about?
– We did not discuss the amounts, but there are specific inquiries. Obviously, it has significantly increased its market value, but that is not the most important thing. It is also important to have a sports plan for Isaacs.
Looking for more new acquisitions this season?
– We are very satisfied and we have good team harmony. We have good competition and summer recruitment will take time. I think it’s more important to keep the group intact and to be able to handle the movement of forces without having to do anything. It is more important than recruiting players who rarely have any effect in a short time.
