Newcastle United have submitted a colossal €24 million bid plus bonuses for AIK winger Zadok Yohanna, worth approximately 260 million Swedish kronor, in what could become Allsvenskan's most expensive transfer ever.
The Premier League club's offer surpasses Brighton & Hove Albion's previous bid of €22-23 million that was revealed over the weekend. AIK have confirmed they are in negotiations regarding the Swedish international's potential departure.
According to Expressen, talks are ongoing between the clubs, with Brighton still very much in the running and pushing hard to secure Yohanna's signature ahead of their Premier League rivals.
The 21-year-old winger has attracted interest from multiple top European clubs, with French side Rennes and another unnamed Premier League team also reportedly monitoring the situation. The intense competition for Yohanna's services reflects his rapid development since breaking into AIK's first team.
Both Newcastle and Brighton are eager to complete a summer deal for the talented wide player, who has established himself as one of Sweden's most promising young talents. The substantial bids demonstrate how highly rated Yohanna is in European football circles.
With two mega-offers now on the table, AIK face a significant decision that could set a new transfer record for Swedish football.
