Djurgarden midfielder Matias Siltanen is in demand from several international clubs. Siltanen has taken a regular spot on Djurgarden's midfield and grown into an important cog in the team since he was signed from Finnish club Kups during the winter of 2025.

What has happened?

Siltanen himself has confirmed that he has rejected French clubs Stade de Reims and Saint-Etienne in previous transfer windows. Now he seems to have interest from bigger clubs, including Premier League clubs and Lyon.

Why is it important for Djurgarden?

Djurgarden is currently in fifth place in Allsvenskan, 26 points behind leaders Mjallby AIF, and has played 30 matches with 52 goals scored and 32 conceded, resulting in a goal difference of +20. Matias Siltanen's contract with Djurgarden runs until the end of the 2027 season.

What will happen next?

Football Insider journalist Pete O'Rourke reports that several Premier League clubs are following Siltanen, and that Lyon is preparing a bid. Djurgarden has reportedly received a bid from French club Toulouse, but no official statement has been made by the club. Djurgarden has a tough battle ahead to keep Siltanen, who has been credited with one assist in ten appearances in Allsvenskan this season.
