Malmö FF, AIK and GAIS all failed in bid to sign Amor Layouni

Three Allsvenskan clubs couldn't offer the contract terms that convinced the Tunisian international to leave Häcken for Cyprus instead.

Amor Layouni has confirmed that several Allsvenskan clubs made approaches before his move from BK Häcken to AEK Larnaca, with Malmö FF, AIK and GAIS all reportedly showing interest in the experienced winger.

The 33-year-old Tunisian international has signed a two-year contract with the Cypriot club after three seasons in Gothenburg. According to [Fotbolltransfers](https://fotbolltransfers.com/nyheter/uppgifter-amor-layouni-nobbade-malmo-aik-och-gais/217328), citing Sportbladet, the three Swedish clubs were unable to meet Layouni's contract demands.

"There were some Allsvenskan clubs that were interested," Layouni told [Fotbollskanalen](https://fotbolltransfers.com/nyheter/uppgifter-amor-layouni-nobbade-malmo-aik-och-gais/217328) earlier this week, confirming the speculation around his future.

For Malmö FF, the uncertain managerial situation reportedly created an additional obstacle in their pursuit of the winger. The club has been searching for stability following recent coaching changes, making it difficult to present a convincing sporting project.

Layouni's departure marks the end of a successful spell at Häcken, where he established himself as a key player in their squad. His experience and versatility made him an attractive target for clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options.

The failed pursuit highlights the financial realities facing Swedish clubs when competing for established players, with foreign leagues often able to offer more attractive terms than the Allsvenskan market can sustain.
