Manchester City have set their sights on Rosenborg teenager Sverre Nypan dubbed as the ‘next Martin Odegaard’ ahead of a potential move.
A report by Football Insider claims that Manchester City are interested in Norwegian talent Sverre Nypan, dubbed as the ‘next Martin Odegaard’. The Rosenborg teenager had scouts watching him during the recent UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier against Hearts and seems to have left a lasting impression.
Manchester City have done sufficient business in the transfer window and have maintained the balance between senior and youth signings. They have made several additions to the academy sides to bolster the ranks. They have allowed some promising talents to leave the club for new challengers.
England Under-21 goalkeeper James Trafford left, while Carlos Borges departed for Ajax in the close season. The highlight has been the amount of money fetched from those transfers. The duo fetched close to £25-30 million despite not having played a senior game for Manchester City.
Their sales tend to show how good an academy Manchester City have on their hands. And that factor alone continues to attract the best of talents from around. Furthermore, they also want the best senior talents, with Belgian winger Jeremy Doku closely linked.
They also wanted to bring Lucas Paqueta. But amid emerging betting allegations, a move may have collapsed already. Whether they look at another midfielder in that mold remains the question. But now they will focus on a new youth talent.
Manchester City are vying for Boca Juniors star Valentin Barco but are also in the hunt for Norwegian talent Sverre Nypan. The 16-year-old midfield sensation from Rosenborg, dubbed the ‘next Odegaard’, has the world at his feet after establishing himself at club level.
Manchester City scouts were present during Rosenborg’s UEFA Europa Conference League qualifier against Hearts. The Premier League champions could make a swoop for the 16-year-old midfield sensation before other rivals join in the hunt.
Nypan could have a sensational career ahead. He is already considered the next-best breakout talent from Norway after Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard. Manchester City must formulate a decent offer to tempt Rosenborg. The 16-year-old midfield sensation has a contract until 2025.
