Soon after that Play sand presented Filip Larsson, information about a “mega-salary” came in The evening paper. For hockeysverige.se, “Tjomme” is now telling us that this is not (!) true.
– Leksands IF does not pay a kroner, writes the sports manager in a text message.
That a Leksands IF, which previously had financial problems, would give Filip Larsson just over two million kroner over the remainder of the season has sparked reactions on social media. But the fact that the club pays the new acquisition SEK 600,000 a month is not true.
Sports manager Thomas Johansson told hockeysverige.se the above on Friday.
– Leksands IF does not pay a penny for Larsson, but it is financed by external actors, writes “Tjomme” in a text message.
The information about Larsson’s salary was published by Aftonbladet on Friday.
Agreement with Leksand until 2029
27-year-old Filip Larsson came to Leksand for the first time in 2023, but was such a success that he quickly went over to North America. Now he is back after two years in the AHL, for the Pittsburgh Penguins’ farm team Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
The agreement with the Dala team is written until 2029.
– We have had a long dialogue with Filip about the future and next season. When we found a way forward, the present also opened up and Filip expressed a desire to come already now, said Thomas Johansson on the team’s website when the signing was completed.
– Filip’s last trip in Leksands IF made a strong impression on all of us. So if we could get Filip to Leksands IF again, this would be fantastic. Now we are there and it will be a lot of fun to see Filip in Leksand’s colors to help us win hockey games going forward.
