August Priske Shines with Two Goals as Transfer Talks with Salzburg Fall Through

August Priske delivered an impressive performance for Djurgården, scoring two goals in their 4-0 victory over IFK Norrköping on August 31, 2025. This remarkable match brought his season tally to ten goals in the 2025 Allsvenskan. The game notably shifted when Norrköping's Yahya Kalley received a red card right before halftime, further solidifying Djurgården's dominance.

During the match, Priske's teammate Oskar Fallenius contributed with a spectacular shot into the top corner, and Nino Žugelj rounded off the scoring with his first goal for Djurgården. After the game, Djurgården’s coach, Jani Honkavaara, praised Priske's form and impact on the team's success.

In related news, Bosse Andersson, the sports manager for Djurgården, discussed the recently aborted transfer to Red Bull Salzburg. While Salzburg had expressed interest in Priske, the negotiations stalled due to a lack of a concrete offer. Andersson expressed both irritation about the failed transfer and pride in retaining Priske, stating, "I feel pride, it’s a victory for football." He emphasized the club's need for substantial offers to part with key players, especially as the transfer window has closed. Honkavaara confirmed that Priske would remain with Djurgården, indicating that a remarkable situation would be needed for his departure this season.
