Molde has today submitted a €3.3 million bid for 21‑year‑old Swedish attacking midfielder Amin Boudri, and talks with Los Angeles FC are under way. Boudri, who came through AIK and was bought by LAFC for the same amount in winter, has only featured in seven MLS games and is now poised for a return to Scandinavia.

Why does Molde want Boudri?

Molde sit at 10th place in the Eliteserien with 39 points after 30 matches (12‑3‑15) and have conceded 42 goals while scoring 46. A creative boost in midfield could give the side the spark needed to climb from a position 32 points behind leaders Viking. Boudri is tied to a contract until 2029, making an early deal a long‑term solution.

What does the move mean for LA FC?

Los Angeles FC paid €3.3 million for Boudri in winter, but the player has only been a substitute and logged seven appearances. The club has therefore set the same price for a potential sale, making Molde’s offer financially attractive. A transfer would free up salary space for LA FC and allow them to bring in a new MLS talent.

How will this affect Molde’s situation?

The team’s last result was a 2‑1 loss to Sarpsborg 08 FF on 25 May 2026, and they now sit on a poor recent form of LWWWL over the past five games. A fresh attacking option could help reverse the slump before the next home fixture against the same opponent on 2 August 2026, where Sarpsborg 08 FF sit in 9th place.

When could a deal be finalised?

Expressen reports that both Molde and LA FC are actively negotiating, and an agreement could be reached before the summer transfer window closes. If Boudri signs, he could be training with Molde already in June, giving manager Jørgen Våga time to integrate him before the crucial second half of the season.
