AIK is reportedly seeking a loan of up to 10 million kronor from Den Svarta Massan, an economic association founded by AIK supporters in 2010 to financially support the club. According to reports, this is due to delayed payments of solidarity compensation from FIFA related to the transfer of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United to Liverpool. 6 billion kronor, making Isak the most expensive player in Premier League history.
AIK is entitled to 33 million kronor in solidarity compensation from this transfer, with 75% reportedly going to the club, but the payments have been delayed because FIFA has changed its system to handle all such payments centrally. AIK CEO Fredrik Söderberg confirmed the loan request and stated that the delayed payments are vital for the club, which has been dealing with financial difficulties and implemented a cost-cutting program earlier this year. This is not the first time AIK has borrowed money from Den Svarta Massan, and reports indicate it is likely the association will grant a new loan.
