Malmö FF is reportedly close to signing 30-year-old Bulgarian international Yanis Karabelyov from Partizan Belgrade, according to Swedish media reports. The deal could be finalized during the ongoing winter transfer window. Meanwhile, an MLS club is said to be interested in MFF's Lasse Berg Johnsen.
Malmö FF's efforts to bolster its midfield have targeted Partizan Belgrade's Yanis Karabelyov. According to Sportbladet, the Swedish club is pursuing the 30-year-old Bulgarian's signature during the winter transfer window. Karabelyov has scored two goals and provided three assists in 20 league matches for the Serbian powerhouse this season.
Mozzart Sport reports that MFF is close to completing the deal, which would add an experienced international to the squad. The Bulgarian has represented his national team and could bring competition and creativity to the lineup.
Meanwhile, Sportbladet indicates that Lasse Berg Johnsen's stint at Malmö FF may be coming to an end. The Norwegian midfielder, who joined from Danish side Randers in summer 2023, has a contract until December 2027. Sporting Kansas, an MLS club, is reportedly interested in buying him out.
These moves reflect Malmö FF's active transfer strategy ahead of upcoming seasons, focusing on both incoming reinforcements and potential departures.
