At the end of February last year, Djurgården bought Bodø/Glimt talent Tobias Gulliksen for 1.8 million euros.
Djurgården, who were criticized for buying expensively, can now turn around and make a good profit. Transfermarkt believes the value is 5 million euros, a sum that is likely to be exceeded if sold within a few days.

The club has already secured replacements, including Bo Hegland from Moss FK.
The club’s sporting director speaks Djurgården
has officially confirmed that they are in the final stages of negotiations on a transfer for Tobias Gulliksen (21).
“We have three specific stakeholders. Some clubs have shown respect for the fact that our transfer window is not open yet. We will discuss this in the coming days and have all the prerequisites to reach an agreement,” says sports director Bosse Andersson to Aftonbladet.
Gulliksen has been a mainstay for Djurgården this season, with two goals and four assists in Allsvenskan, in addition to making his mark in the Conference League.
International interest
According to Aftonbladet, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Beşiktaş is among the clubs that are closely monitoring the situation. However, Andersson does not want to confirm which club is closest to a deal.
“We’ll have to come back to that. Haven’t you figured it out yet? There is no club that has been written about,” says the sporting director.
Expressen reports that RB Salzburg is also among the potential buyers. According to the newspaper’s sources, Gulliksen has been indicted by the Austrian club, but there is no concrete agreement as of now.
Replacements in place
Djurgården have already taken precautions by bringing in Bo Hegland from Moss FK and Danish Mikael Andersson. The sporting director confirms that these signings are intended as replacements for Gulliksen, who may have already played his last game for the capital club.
“If you ask him, then maybe. We will discuss the matter, but if this was his last fight I don’t know. In his way of thinking, maybe it was,” Andersson comments.
Success story from Norway to Sweden
Gulliksen came to Djurgården in 2024 from Bodø/Glimt, where he only spent six months after his transfer from Strømsgodset. The transfer fee of around NOK 20 million has proven to be a good investment.
In Sweden, the Norwegian has really flourished. On Sunday, he contributed with two assists in the team’s 5-1 win over Degerfors.
“We paid a significant sum for him, and it is safe to say that there has been a very positive development in value,” Andersson concludes.
