Moutaz Neffati is attracting interest from Swiss champions Young Boys, with the Norrköping right-back rumoured to be on the radar of the Super League side as they weigh up defensive options for upcoming windows.
The 21-year-old, who represents both Tunisia and Sweden at youth level and is valued at around €750,000, is currently under contract at IFK Norrköping, but recent transfer listings have linked him with a move to Bern. The reported probability of the switch has not been specified, leaving the level of Young Boys’ intent unclear and fuelling speculation over whether they are preparing a formal approach or simply monitoring his situation.
No fee or contract details have been indicated and there is no public information on the length of Neffati’s current deal in Sweden, opening up the possibility that he could become a free agent in the near future if no extension is agreed. That uncertainty is understood to be a factor in the growing rumours, with Young Boys seen as a club that regularly targets emerging talent from Scandinavia.
Born in Norrköping on 4 September 2004, the 1.82m defender has come through the ranks at his hometown club, progressing from IFK Norrköping Jugend to the U19s before breaking into the first team. His development has included loan spells with IF Sylvia in Sweden and KR Reykjavík in Iceland, giving him senior experience in Ettan Fotboll and the Icelandic top flight before returning to Norrköping.
Neffati’s market value has risen sharply in recent seasons, climbing from €25,000 during his early senior appearances to a current figure of €750,000, reflecting his growing reputation as an attacking right-back. Having also featured in Superettan this term, the move to a club regularly competing for European places would represent a significant step up in level.
Should the transfer materialise, a switch from Norrköping to Young Boys could accelerate Neffati’s development, enhance his profile in both Tunisia and Sweden, and position him for a future move into one of Europe’s top five leagues.
