Djurgarden is selling Marcus Danielson to Chinese side Dalian for 42 million. The transfer is worth 42 million and is Djurgarden's biggest sale ever. Marcus Danielson joined Djurgarden as a Bosman signing in 2018 after impressive performances at Gif Sundsvall. He played 25 matches in his first season and last year took a big step, in many people's eyes the best defender in Allsvenskan, and he also received the Allsvenskan Grand Prize as defender of the year. Sports director Bosse Andersson talks about a hectic day where everything had to be in place before the Chinese transfer window closes. Other news from Djurgarden is that Sam Larsson is signed for the club from Feyenoord. Danielson is stunned after a few hectic days: It feels good and it's gone very fast, it's a bit hard to land in it. I had to make a quick decision and was a bit surprised. Right now it's a bit hard to put words on it. He also feels sad about leaving: It's what feels hardest to leave Djurgarden. All the guys on the team, the supporters and all the people in the association. I've enjoyed myself so much in Djurgarden so it wasn't an easy decision for me to make. I will miss wearing the Djurgarden jersey. Djurgarden has now received a large sum of money that can be used to develop the club. This gives us the conditions to be at the top and fulfill our sporting goals, says Bosse Andersson. Marcus Danielson will now have none other than Rafa Benitez as coach and former Napoli star Marek Hamsik as teammate.
