BK Häcken have several players in their squad whose contracts are set to expire at the end of 2026, putting the club's long-term planning in focus. The situation means key players like Mikkel Rygaard, Andreas Linde and Adam Lundkvist could leave on free transfers if new deals are not agreed.
The 35-year-old midfielder Mikkel Rygaard, 33-year-old goalkeeper Andreas Linde and 32-year-old left-back Adam Lundkvist are among the most experienced in the squad and their deals run out on 31 December 2026. Further players with the same expiry date include midfielder Amane Romeo, defender Rasmus Lindgren and forward G. Lindgren, who is the team's top scorer this season with nine goals in 21 appearances. The most recent match, a 1-1 draw with Mjällby on September 11 where Julius Lindberg equalised, was part of a recent form run reading DDLWW over the last five rounds.
Planning for the future
Club management now have a clear window to assess which of these players should be offered extensions. The decisions will impact the squad's composition and experience level for upcoming seasons. Losing several seasoned names simultaneously without a transfer fee would be a challenge for a club like Häcken.
The next step
Immediately ahead lies an away fixture against Kalmar FF on September 20. Thereafter, contract negotiation work will become a priority during the autumn and winter. The club has time, but decisions must be made carefully to ensure a stable squad. For a complete overview of the entire squad and their current status, visit our squad page. The final list of extensions and departures will take shape over the coming months.
