Eliasson: “I leave my future to AEK and my agent – I had the best season of my career”

He spoke for everyone and everything Niklas Eliasson in the big interview he gave to Sportbladet, who came and met him in Athens.

The 28-year-old referred to his call to Swedish national teamthe best – as he described it – season of his career with AEKbut also in his future, which, as he pointed out, he leaves to the “Union” and his agent.

“It’s really sad. If Aris had scored in the 95th minute against PAOK, we would have won the championship“, initially said the Swede about the battle for this year’s title in Greece.

Regarding the fact that he was called up to the Swedish national team, he commented: “Of course, it’s a big thing for me. The Swedish national team has always been a dream, I wanted to join it at any cost. It is equally important that I developed as a player and as a person».

The Swedish winger then states: “AEK is an attacking team, with many good players. I really enjoy the club and the city of Athens».

For the season in which he had 12 assists and 8 goals: “It’s always hard to compare, but it’s the best season of my career. Statistics say so. I’ve always been an attacking player but with the experience I have I know where I need to be to score some easier goals too».

The talk then turned to the €8,500,000 clause (100 million kroner) and the interest from bigger league teams:

“Yes, I know, but I leave that to my agent and the club. All players want to challenge themselves and go as far as possible, but considering how much fun my family and I are having, it has to be something pretty good to move on.».

Regarding the interest that had been heard from Gremio: “It’s a really good club. Given my connection to Brazil (his mother is from there), it’s tempting to play there at some point. I don’t think there has been any Swede who has played in the Brazilian league before. I follow Brazilian football. Clubs have stepped forward and are investing. But I follow the team more as a fan».
