Urheilucast: Major transfer revelation about Daniel Mäkiaho – another Liiga giant is after him!
Tampereen Ilves has shown interest in HIFK’s star forward Daniel Mäkiaho, reports Urheilucastin host Esko Seppänen.
The contract of Mäkiaho, who leads the league’s scoring list by a wide margin, ends after this season. However, HIFK is not willing to part with their own product.
– I asked about it, and IFK will not let go of this homegrown player at any cost. That has been said straight from the corner office, Seppänen reports.
Interest has still been sufficient in Tampere, where Ilves is preparing for Raimo Helminen‘s return as head coach.
– Tampereen Ilves has been kicking the tires, but the tires were not ready to be kicked yet, as far as I understand.
According to Seppänen, Ilves is planning several notable reinforcements for next season.
– Ilves wants 2-3 statement-style acquisitions for this Raipen season. Especially right at the beginning. They want to send a message that it’s time to stop settling for those semifinal spots. Now they are trying to get a surname, a star caliber, that everyone knows who it is about.
Mäkiaho has been one of the biggest sensations of the league’s early season. He has scored an impressive 12 goals and 27 points in 19 games.
