FC Midtjylland has confirmed today that star player Aral Simsir is leaving the club in a deal with Turkish side Trabzonspor. According to TV 2 Sport both parties have agreed on a transfer that will bring 112 million DKK to FCM, plus a 15 percent resale clause if Simsir passes the medical.

What are the details of the transfer?

Simsir, 24, was named Superliga Player of the Year last season after delivering nine goals and 15 assists. The agreement sees him travel to Trabzonspor for a medical examination next week, and upon a successful test the money will be transferred to FCM. The 15 percent clause means the club can earn extra if the Turkish side sells the player on later.

Why does this matter for FC Midtjylland?

Midtjylland sits in a tight title race, currently second in the Superliga with 60 points after 32 games (16W‑12D‑4L). They are just 7 points behind leaders Aarhus, and with a goal difference of +36 (72 scored, 36 conceded) every million counts for budgetary reinforcements. Losing a player who just won Player of the Year could affect both creative playtime and the squad’s morale in the final stretch of the season.

How does this affect the next match?

The latest result for FC Midtjylland was a 2‑3 loss to Brøndby on 17 May 2026. The team’s recent form (LLWWD) shows they have lost the last two games but won two of the previous five. Losing Simsir may make the upcoming clash with Aarhus even tougher, but the extra cash provides an opportunity to bring in a replacement quickly.

What can we expect moving forward?

If Simsir passes the medical, the transfer will be completed within the next few days. FC Midtjylland will then have 112 million DKK at its disposal, and the club has already hinted at interest in several young forwards on the market. With the current standing, 2nd in the Superliga, and a scoring tally of 72, the management will likely use the funds to bolster the attack and keep the title chase alive.
