Key details
Swedish midfielder Adrian Lahdo has officially transferred from Hammarby to Italian Serie A club Como in a landmark deal valued at around 126 to 130 million kronor, plus an additional bonus package worth 11 million kronor. This transfer is the largest in Hammarby’s history, marking a significant moment for the club which developed Lahdo as a homegrown talent.
Eighteen-year-old Lahdo, who made his Allsvenskan debut in 2024 and played 14 matches scoring three goals and one assist, expressed mixed feelings about leaving his childhood club. He said, “It feels sad to leave Hammarby, but I am also happy to get this chance and to give back to my home club.” His contract with Como extends until 2031.
Hammarby’s sporting director, Mikael Hjelmberg, noted that despite the club's initial intention for Lahdo to stay and extend his contract, Como’s substantial bid led to the sale. Hjelmberg emphasized the transparent discussions held with Lahdo about his future. The transfer signals an important step in Lahdo’s career, moving from a breakout season in Sweden’s top league to the competitive environment of Serie A.
The deal was finalized after Como increased their initial 85 million kronor offer to meet Hammarby’s demands. Lahdo is expected to join Como’s squad imminently, having already agreed to personal terms.
