Urheilucast: HIFK and Tappara are chasing the league’s top scorer – now a monster offer has been put on the table!
JYP’s star forward Leevi Tukiainen has received a lucrative contract offer from Switzerland. According to Urheilucast host Esko Seppänen, HC Ajoie has put forth an offer with exceptionally attractive financial terms.
– He has been offered a contract worth over 300,000 euros net, after all expenses. Housing, travel, cars, food, mobile phones – everything, Seppänen states in the broadcast.
The Swiss newspaper Blick reported on Tuesday about Ajoie’s interest in the 26-year-old Finnish forward.
Tukiainen has also attracted interest in the Liiga. HIFK, Tappara, and Ilves have, according to previous information from Urheilucast, been pursuing JYP’s goal-scoring ace for next season.
Seppänen believes Tukiainen will also secure his position in the domestic contract market.
– This is done to ensure his own position. He will likely sign a contract either with HIFK or Tappara, but in 98 out of 100 cases, he will move abroad.
Tukiainen’s contract with JYP ends after this season. The forward, who scored 29 goals in 40 games last season, has netted nine goals in 16 games this season.
