Onni Johannes Simonpoika Valakari (born 18 August 1999) is a Finnish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Allsvenskan club AIK, on loan from Pafos.

Club career

Valakari started to play football in the youth sector of Käpylän Pallo (KäPa) in 2007. In 2013, he moved to Seinäjoki with his family and joined local club Seinäjoen Jalkapallokerho (SJK). After making his senior debut with the club's reserve team SJK II in a then third-tier level Kakkonen in 2015, Valakari continued his career with Turun Palloseura (TPS). He played with TPS first in the second-tier Ykkönen in 2017, and in the next 2018 season he debuted in the premier division Veikkausliiga. During the first half of the season, he scored four goals in the league.[3]

On 5 August 2018, Valakari signed with the Norwegian club Tromsø,[5] after his father was named the manager of the club's first team.[3]

In January 2020 he moved to Cypriot First Division club Pafos for an undisclosed fee.[6] On 25 November 2022, Valakari extended his contract with Pafos until June 2026.[7] On 18 May 2024, Valakari and Pafos won the 2023–24 Cypriot Cup title, after defeating Omonia 3–0 in the final.[8]

On 26 August 2024, Valakari was loaned out to Swedish Allsvenskan club AIK for the rest of the 2024 season,[9] with a purchase option of around €1 million.[10] On 21 September, he scored his first goal in Allsvenskan, in a 1–0 away win against Kalmar FF.[11][12]

International career

He played for Finland at under-19 and under-21 levels.[13]

Valakari made his senior international debut for Finland on 11 November 2020, scoring on his debut in a 2–0 victory over France. The other goalscorer was fellow debutant Marcus Forss.[14]

Valakari was called up for the UEFA Euro 2020 pre-tournament friendly match against Sweden on 29 May 2021.[15]

After a two-year absence from the national team, Valakari was named in the Finland squad for the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League B matches against Ireland and Greece in November 2024.[16]

Personal life

Valakari's father Simo is a former professional international player and a current manager; his older brother Paavo is a former professional player,[17] and his younger brother Toivo is playing for Käpylän Pallo in Finnish second-tier.[18] Onni was born in Scotland when his father had a stint as a player at Motherwell.[19][20][21]

On 10 May 2024, it was reported that Valakari had been sentenced to a €9,900 fine in Finnish Court of Kymenlaakso for not enrolling to the mandatory conscription service on time in January 2022.[22]

In November 2024, Valakari sparked controversy with his supportive comments on Andrew Tate and Donald Trump in an interview.[23][24]
