Samed Bazdar has been rumored to be on his way away from Real Zaragoza.
Information in Germany has claimed that VFL Bochum and Schalke 04 want to sign the Bosnian national team player, but the 21-year-old has also been linked to Malmö FF.
There has also been talk of some clubs in Poland – such as Legia Warsawa and Raków Częstochowa, but so far the forward has not finalized a new club.
AIK bid for Bazdar
The Express can reveal that Real Zaragoza has received a concrete offer from AIK for Samed Bazdar and that the Stockholm club wants to sign the player before the Allsvenskan.
Several sources that Expressen has been in contact with state that AIK wants to loan Bazdar with a purchase option included – where AIK initially offered around two million for a loan.
The option itself that AIK offered should be around €1.2 million – equivalent to SEK 13 million. However, Real Zaragoza will demand a slightly higher sum for the option.

AIK is currently neither in agreement with Real Zaragoza nor the player on the personal terms, but talks between the parties are ongoing and it remains to be seen whether it will come to fruition.
Samed Bazdar does not lack stakeholders. Several of the clubs that got in touch during the winter have investigated the conditions for a deal, where both a pure loan and a loan with a purchase option have been current options.
Now AIK has made a concrete push for the striker, who has not closed the door on a move to Sweden this winter.
Samed Bazdar has a background in Partizan Belgrade but was signed to Real Zaragoza in 2024. In the Spanish club, he has scored five goals and five assists in 40 games.
He has also scored one goal in eleven caps for Bosnia and Herzegovina. AIK has been looking for a striker this winter and this week the Expressen revealed that “Gnaget” had dialogue regarding the Dane David Stückler from Cremonese, but there is a risk that the price tag sticks out for the Allsvenskan clubs. Earlier last fall, AIK bid for Giorgi Guliashvili from FK Sarajevo, which turned out to be too expensive, and instead was signed to Racing Santander in Segunda.
AIK has undergone major changes in management this winter. Miika Takkula is the new recruiting manager and Mikkjal Thomassen was fired in January from the head coaching position.
On December 20, Expressen revealed that José Riveiro was one of the candidates to take over AIK and that his name had been discussed internally.
