He is in a strong sporting moment after scoring twice for Sweden against Tunisia in the World Cup and establishing himself as a trusted option in Fabian Hurzeler’s midfield. Talks about improved terms are advancing, while external interest is growing.
Reports describe Ayari as an all-action midfielder with intensity, mobility and adaptability. His energy and versatility are repeatedly highlighted, with the profile framed around work rate and positional flexibility rather than a single specialist trait. He has been likened to Mateus Fernandes in style, suggesting a dynamic, mobile presence in central areas. Sources stress his capacity to contribute across phases, with a pressing profile and willingness to cover ground.
Ayari came through the AIK academy and stepped up to the senior side in October 2021. He moved to the south coast in January 2023 for €4m after a steady rise in Stockholm. Early loan spells at Coventry City in 2023 and Blackburn Rovers in 2024 helped shape his development, and he returned to become a regular in the first-team rotation. On the international stage he enhanced his reputation during Sweden’s World Cup campaign, scoring a brace from distance against Tunisia.
Manchester United have been linked with monitoring, with AC Milan and Atletico Madrid also mentioned as admirers. Roma and Borussia Dortmund have shown recent interest, with Roma exploring a loan with option to buy while Dortmund made initial contact with his entourage. Turkish clubs Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are also cited as suitors. The club is reportedly asking between €45 and €50 million and prefers a permanent sale. His deal runs until 30 June 2027 with an option to extend, and positive contract discussions are underway to secure him longer.
