By now, the beats of the story should be familiar. In his recent weekly transfer rumors column for Expressen, writer Daniel “Disco” Kristoffersson revealed that AIK fullback Eric Kahl is being pursued by a host of Belgian and Italian clubs. The Swedish youth international is set to be sold this summer for a fee that will be in the “millions.”
New York Red Bulls fans remember Kahl. In February, New York reportedly attempted to sign the 19-year-old, causing a minor maelstrom of bad press in the Swedish media. The club’s alleged $600,000 transfer offer was deemed “shameful,” as AIK valued the player at roughly $2,400,000.
