Malmo manager Henrik Rydstrom was linked with a move to Brighton & Hove Albion last summer.
The move didn’t happen as Fabian Hurzeler joined and has done well in his first season with the Seagulls.
While his future at Brighton is secure, Rydstrom was asked about the time when he was linked with a move to the South Coast club and how he would respond now.
He spoke to Svenska Dagbladet about it and revealed the truth behind the ‘buzz’ that surrounded him and Brighton in the summer.
He said: “There was a bit of buzz about them last year and several other international clubs at a high level have contacted you.”
Speaking further, the Swede also stated that he still has a lot to do at Malmo: “But it has to feel right and there is a lot left to do in MFF, I am far from finished here.”
Rydstrom isn’t desperate to leave Malmo right now and would only do so if the right opportunity arrives.
Brighton should have no regrets about missing out in the summer though, especially considering how Hurzeler has done in this campaign.
The Seagulls still have the chance of finishing inside the European spots and it would be their second year in Europe in the space of three seasons.
