Porto value the 20-year-old at about £52m despite a higher release clause.

Overview

  • Multiple reports link Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle with Victor Froholdt after his breakout year at FC Porto, though no bids have been confirmed.
  • Froholdt’s deal runs to 2030 and includes a release clause near £73m, but The Times reports Porto would consider offers closer to £52m.
  • Speaking during title celebrations, the Denmark international said he wants to stay at Porto next season to play in the Champions League, leaving his summer plans open.
