The star forward of Kärpät, Patrik Virta, is a hot name in the Liiga transfer market.

Urheilucast’s host Esko Seppänen claims that at least Tappara and Jokerit, which will likely be promoted to Liiga next season, are after Virta.

Virta has been Kärpät’s second-best scorer this season. The 29-year-old forward has amassed 25 points with 5 goals and 20 assists in 31 games.

Tappara is a familiar club for Virta, as he represented the team from 2019 to 2023. He won two SM gold medals with Tappara.

Virta also has distant connections to Jokerit, as his father Tony Virta played for Jokerit for three seasons from 2005 to 2008.
