Kalmar will sell Rasmus Elm only for a large sum

Kalmar Chairman commented today on the economic situation around Elm and the possibility of a 80 million SEK deal.

- We have simply not yet come so far in negotiations with any club, stresses Petersson.

Rasmus Elms market price is on the way up - perhaps more than Zlatan's value of 82 million, which makes him the most expensive transfer ever in Allsvenskan when he left Malmo FF for Ajax for 82 million.

- Of course we hope and clearly we see opportunities with Rasmus but we must also remain humble, "says Kalmar President.

- His value has certainly increased. But what is he worth? Market value is what a club is willing to give.

Something that also speaks for the transfer business is Ari da Silva Ferreira affair some years ago. It was Kalmar's first attempt for big business that culminated in the highest profits.


- Before we sold to Ari to Alkmaar our largest transferr was for one million SEK. Now, we sold a player for 40 million. We learned a lot about how the market works and on the negotiation. We have benefited a lot.
