A former Halmstads BK player has confirmed that he turned down offers from clubs abroad, Hallandsposten reported on Wednesday.
The player did not accept the foreign approaches, according to the newspaper's report. Hallandsposten did not specify in its summary which clubs made the offers, when they were made, or the value of any proposed deal.
The confirmation was one of several Swedish football stories circulating the same day. Sydsvenskan reported that a Malmö FF star pushed back at criticism, saying he is maintaining a good level. Expressen reported that a club confirmed its interest following comments from a figure named Stahre. Fotbollskanalen reported that an "AC" return is expected in a training match, with the player described as happy. Fotbollskanalen also reported on why Haksabanovic stayed, quoting him as saying he wants to complete a full season.
The Hallandsposten report did not include further detail on the rejected offers or the player's current club situation.
What to watch next: whether the player or the interested foreign clubs comment further, and whether any new offer emerges in the coming transfer window.
