Key details
The anticipated transfer of Abdoulie Manneh from Mjällby AIF to Olympiakos has collapsed following a medical examination that uncovered potential health issues. The 20-year-old forward described the move as a dream, particularly due to the opportunity to play in the Champions League. However, reports indicate that the Greek club deemed the health concerns significant enough to withdraw from the deal, which was estimated to be worth over 40 million kronor, according to various sources.
Manneh, who has had an impressive season with Mjällby, scoring seven goals and contributing three assists in 20 matches, was expected to finish the Allsvenskan season with his current team before officially joining Olympiakos. Current reports suggest that Manneh is now having second thoughts about the transfer amidst the decision by Olympiakos to retract their offer. Mjällby, meanwhile, is leading the Allsvenskan by eight points, underscoring the importance of Manneh's contributions to the team this season.
Mjällby’s sports director Hasse Larsson has yet to comment publicly on this unexpected turn of events, leaving the situation regarding Manneh's football future uncertain as he deals with the implications of the failed transfer.
