A little bit more of a surprise is that Linköping FC executive Anders Mäki thinks that he can outbid Umeå for Marta's services. He tells tabloid Expressen, that he can pay SEK 10,000 to 20,000 more than Marta earns today (allegedly SEK50,000 a month). He is trying to get in touch with Marta's agent Fabiano Farah to find out exactly how much it would take to lure Marta away.
