Luka Kuittinen has reportedly reached an agreement with HJK, but the move to Helsinki will only go through if the FC Inter centre-back does not move abroad during the winter transfer window.
MTV Uutiset reports that the 23-year-old has already reached an understanding with HJK over a contract. The reported arrangement leaves the door open for Kuittinen to pursue a move outside Finland before committing to the Helsinki club.
The situation is particularly interesting because Kuittinen’s FC Inter contract expires at the end of December. As recently as 8 November, he publicly described his future as open and said he was waiting to see what offers would arrive.
Kuittinen has just completed another strong season with Inter, making 26 Veikkausliiga appearances and playing 2,119 league minutes. He also helped the club to a hugely successful 2026 campaign.
For now, the reported HJK agreement should not be treated as a completed transfer. The key condition remains clear: if a suitable move abroad materialises during the winter window, Kuittinen may still leave Finland instead.
