Sverre Nypan, the talented teenager, has kickstarted his career in Norway incredibly, quickly catching the eye of some of Europe's top clubs. He is being dubbed as the next 'Odegaard'
At the same age, Odegaard had already made a move to Real Madrid after creating a lot of excitement at Stromsgodset. However, many believe that the transition may have come too soon for him.
During his six years at Santiago Bernabeu, he made just 11 senior appearances and was loaned out four times. It wasn't until he joined Arsenal permanently in 2021 that he began to truly realize his potential.
Nypan's efforts caught the attention of top-tier clubs
Nypan had the opportunity to follow a path similar to others, given that Manchester United, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain have already been eyeing the teenager since he joined the Rosenborg in 2022, as reported in Norway.
While many young players are drawn to the irresistible pull of the world's top clubs, Nypan chose to stay with his current club.
Nypan was born in Trondheim. From an early age, he showed a strong passion for football. At just five years old, he joined the district club Nardo FK, located a short distance from the prestigious Lerkendal Stadion, home of Rosenborg.
While success didn't come overnight, Nypan persevered with the unwavering support of his family. Over the next eight years with Nardo, he emerged as a standout talent. Following the recent contract renewal, Rosenborg's sports manager, Mikael Dorsin, indicated that the club has established a valuation of €100 million for Nypan.
Nypan appears dedicated to proving this valuation justified during the 2024 season. With 15 goal contributions in 28 appearances, he has played a crucial role in helping Rosenborg ascend to fourth place.
Nypan's mature decision is paying dividends. Reports indicate that both Arsenal and Manchester City are preparing to make a formal move for Rosenborg's prized asset before the January transfer window closes. If he leaps into the Premier League, Nypan will be in transition phase from being a developing talent to a player ready to pursue greatness.
