Interest from European Clubs in Pakistan football captain Abdullah Iqbal is reportedly increasing. Multiple teams are monitoring the 23-year-old center-back for potential transfers during the current window.
Swedish club Mjällby, where Iqbal currently plays, has received a multi-million offer from Turkish side Kasimpasa. Meanwhile, MLS team Columbus Crew is also tracking the defender and considering a move.
Iqbal’s rising profile comes after a standout season in Sweden, where he became one of the league’s most dependable defenders. His consistent performances have attracted attention from several European Clubs, including Hungarian champions Ferencváros and Belgian team KAA Gent.
Earlier this month, Azerbaijani giants Qarabag FK expressed interest in signing Iqbal. Qarabag, a leading team in Azerbaijan, regularly competes in European competitions, offering the defender an opportunity to play at a higher-profile level. A move there could give Iqbal a platform to showcase his talent in continental tournaments.
Iqbals’ career has progressed steadily. He joined Mjällby in 2024 from Danish side B.93 and played a key role in the club’s title-winning campaign. His current market value is estimated at €2 million, and it could rise further if he moves to a club regularly competing in Europe.
The growing interest highlights Iqbal’s potential as a reliable and versatile defender. European Clubs are keen to strengthen their defenses, and Iqbal’s performances have made him an attractive prospect for teams seeking young talent with international experience.
