Key Points
  • AIK is in talks with Brondby to loan defender Rasmus Lauritsen with a buy option.
  • Brondby would need to cover most of Lauritsen's salary for the deal to happen.
  • Lauritsen previously played in Sweden for IFK Norrkoping from 2019 to 2020.

AIK is reportedly in negotiations with Brondby IF to sign defender Rasmus Lauritsen on loan for the rest of the season with an option to buy, according to sources. The talks are ongoing, and for the deal to proceed, Brondby would need to cover most of Lauritsen's high salary during the loan period. AIK is said to be hopeful of finalizing the transfer soon.

Lauritsen, 29, previously played for IFK Norrkoping in the Allsvenskan in 2019 and 2020. He has scored one goal and provided two assists in 65 competitive matches for Brondby, and his contract with the Danish club runs until the summer of 2027. AIK's financial situation is under pressure, limiting major investments, and the club has reportedly been working hard on this deal after earlier interest in other players proved too expensive.
