Djurgarden and Mikael Anderson are parting ways after one year. The 28-year-old Icelandic international joined Djurgarden in the summer of 2025 and cost around 20 million kronor to buy out his contract from Danish club AGF Århus.

Why is Mikael Anderson leaving Djurgarden?

Mikael Anderson himself explains the background to the decision on Djurgarden's website. He says that he is very grateful that Djurgarden has met his strong wishes regarding a move to Denmark.

Djurgarden's new football manager Maximilian Hahn says that the club would have liked to see Anderson stay, but that family comes first.

What happens now with Djurgarden?

Djurgarden is currently in fifth place in Allsvenskan, with 49 points and a goal difference of +20. The team has played 30 matches and has a recent form of WDWLD.

Mikael Anderson scored six goals and made three assists in 18 Allsvenskan matches for Djurgarden. He is now leaving the club to return to his former club AGF Århus, which since his departure last summer has become Danish league champions and will qualify for the Champions League later in July.
