Noel Törnqvist Set to Join Stade Brest from Mjällby AIF

Swedish goalkeeper Noel Törnqvist is on the brink of a significant transfer from Mjällby AIF to Ligue 1 club Stade Brest, with a reported transfer fee around 36 million kronor. The move is expected to be finalized shortly as both clubs are in the final stages of negotiations, although some minor details remain pending.

Törnqvist, 23, has made a notable impact in the Allsvenskan this season, helping Mjällby AIF secure a leading position in the league standings. His performances have garnered interest not only from Brest but also from Turkish club Samsunspor. Nonetheless, Törnqvist has expressed a clear preference to continue his career in a top five European league, marking this transfer to France as a pivotal step in his professional journey.

The plan is for Törnqvist to remain with Mjällby until the conclusion of the current Allsvenskan season before transitioning to Stade Brest in January. His contribution has been vital for Mjällby, and the club is expected to leverage his talents as they aim to maintain their leading position. Törnqvist’s move reflects an exciting opportunity for him to further his career in a more competitive environment, showcasing his abilities on a larger European stage.
