FC Kalmar are continuing to struggle financially despite selling their star player Marcus Antonsson to Leeds United. The forward signed for Leeds United in the last summer transfer window, but has failed to cement a place in Garry Monk’s team.
Fotbollskanalen have reported Kalmar received a small boost when they sold Antonsson to the Championship side, but there are still major problems at the club. The Swedish side are having issues keeping up with the cost of their stadium, and have started to lease out parts of it.
Kalmar have tried to expand the commercial side of the club, but this is proving to be difficult due to their lack of success on the pitch. It’s expected there will be slight increases in their revenue this year, although this is unlikely to make an impact on their situation.
Antonsson has only played a handful of league games for Leeds United despite a promising start by the forward. The player was recently asked by the Swedish media about returning to his home country in the summer, but the 25-year-old insisted he would remain with Leeds United.
However, with just five appearances this season for Monk’s side the Swede it’s likely the Swede will have to consider his Elland Road future at the end of the season.
