Manchester City are on the verge of securing another exciting young talent, with reports indicating that they have agreed a deal to sign 17-year-old Norwegian midfielder Sverre Nypan from Rosenborg.
The Premier League champions are set to pay an initial fee of around £5 million, which could rise to £10 million with add-ons, as Pep Guardiola looks to bolster his squad with one of Scandinavia's most promising prospects.
Who is Sverre Nypan?
The teenage sensation has already made 50 senior appearances for Rosenborg despite his tender age, scoring five goals and providing seven assists from midfield. His performances have drawn comparisons to fellow Norwegian Martin Ødegaard, who also burst onto the scene as a teenager.
City's Youth Recruitment Strategy
This potential signing continues Manchester City's strategy of identifying and developing young talent from across Europe. The club has successfully integrated players like Phil Foden and Rico Lewis into their first team in recent years.
Nypan would likely begin his City career with their Elite Development Squad before pushing for first-team opportunities, following a similar path to current star Julián Álvarez.
What This Means for Rosenborg
For Rosenborg, the sale represents excellent business for a player who only made his senior debut last year. The Norwegian club will reportedly retain a sell-on clause, ensuring they benefit if Nypan's career continues its upward trajectory.
The transfer is expected to be finalized in the coming days, subject to medical and work permit approval.
