An excerpt from the Allsvenskan according to Lundh and von Knorring.
The Malmö FF midfielder has mainly acted as a substitute in the last two seasons. On Monday, the Dane won his fourth SM gold with MFF, and later in the evening wrote The evening paper that the 37-year-old will stop after the season.
A decision that Søren Rieks, who has an expiring contract, believes has not been made.
– The focus is on the last matches, then we will make the decision accordingly. That’s where it is right now, he says.
However, MFF’s season does not end until the team has finished playing in the Europa League. A tournament that the team will play two January matches in. Bets in these matches have not been up for discussion yet.
– We haven’t really had time actually. There has been a lot with Europe and a lot of chances to take the gold, so there has been a focus on that. Now we get some extra time in the coming weeks, so we’ll take it then, says Søren Rieks.
But theoretically you could have signed a contract in one month?
– I think that is possible (laughs)? In my situation anyway. With others who are younger and may be leaving, I don’t know. If you stay, there may be an opportunity.
Rieks believes that the dialogue with sports manager Daniel Andersson has been good all the way. The MFF veteran will not look for a new club, but it is between a continuation and a retirement.
About a possible withdrawal, he says:
– It is clear that it will be special, but it is nothing that I have thought about so much how it will turn out. Pretty much since I arrived, I’ve had a great time with the supporters and enjoyed myself. We’ll see what happens in my last match.
Rieks has 46 goals and 35 assists after 235 games in Malmö FF, which he has represented since 2018.
