Ghanaian striker Malik Abubakari is actively working towards a departure from Danish Superliga side Lyngby, with clubs in Portugal expressing strong interest in securing his services.
Abubakari, 24, is reportedly eager to end his stint in Denmark, where he has struggled for consistency, and return to more familiar territory.
Talks are understood to be ongoing between the player’s representatives and Lyngby officials, with both parties exploring the best path forward.
Interest in the forward has resurfaced from Portugal, particularly from clubs in the Liga Portugal 2, where Abubakari previously showcased his scoring prowess.
His earlier performances in the Portuguese second division remain a major factor driving this renewed attention.
During his time in the league, he earned a reputation as a dynamic and clinical attacker, attributes that appear to have left a lasting impression.
Although no official bids have been confirmed, sources close to the negotiations indicate that more than one Portuguese club is monitoring the situation closely and could make a move once formal discussions with Lyngby progress further.
Abubakari joined Lyngby in a bid to revitalise his career but has found it difficult to cement a regular place in the squad.
With limited minutes and a lack of sustained impact in the Danish top flight, the Ghanaian now sees a return to Portugal as a chance to reignite his trajectory.
“Malik is looking for a new opportunity where he can play regularly and contribute at the level he knows he is capable of,” a source familiar with the matter said. “Portugal is an environment he knows well, and the interest from there is very serious.”
The forward is no stranger to change, having previously played in Sweden and Finland, in addition to his spell in Portugal.
His adaptability and experience across different European leagues could prove appealing for suitors seeking a versatile and battle-tested addition to their attacking line.
As the summer transfer window gathers pace, a resolution could be reached in the coming weeks.
For Abubakari, the aim is clear: a fresh start in a familiar league where he has previously delivered results.
Lyngby, meanwhile, are expected to weigh their options carefully, balancing their squad needs against the striker’s desire for more consistent opportunities elsewhere.
