Malmö FF moves for AZ striker Mayckel Lahdo as summer nears

Mayckel Lahdo, the 23‑year‑old Zweed striker, can leave AZ this summer for Malmö FF after the Swedish top club contacted the forward about a possible transfer, SportExpressen reports. He has not featured for the Alkmaarders this season after loan spells at FC Nantes and Brøndby IF, and his contract runs until mid‑2027.

Why Malmö FF target the Zweedse forward

Malmö FF, the Zweedse top club, have opened talks with the attacker as they search for a new forward. The club’s early‑stage discussions consider Lahdo a serious option for the final phase of the transfer window.

Lahdo did not make any matchday squad for the Alkmaarders this season, making him surplus to requirements. The forward spent the previous campaign on loan, first at FC Nantes and later at Brøndby IF, where both clubs held purchase options but declined to activate them.

Since joining Alkmaar in 2022, Lahdo accumulated 98 official appearances, scoring fourteen goals and providing nine assists. His current deal with AZ runs until mid‑2027, giving the Swedish player ample time to negotiate a move.

For Malmö, securing Lahdo would add a familiar name to their attack, addressing the need for a new striker. De club sees him as a key addition to their frontline. Voor the upcoming season, Malmö hopes to bolster its attack, but no concrete agreement has been reached and several steps remain before a return to Sweden can be finalised.

If the transfer materialises, AZ would free up a squad place and potentially reduce wage costs, while Lahdo would gain the chance to revive his career in the Allsvenskan. Malm has been monitoring his progress, and both sides remain in the early stages of negotiation.
