Europe’s Top Clubs Target 15-Year-Old Gabriel Rajkovic
Extensive scouting by Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid and others raises transfer pressure on Vålerenga, with a reported contract to 2028 alongside FIFA rules on minors shaping any approach.
Overview
- Rajkovic, 15, broke into Vålerenga’s senior team earlier this year and became the youngest player to appear in Norway’s top flight when he made his debut at 15 years and 20 days.
- Arsenal and Chelsea are reported to have compiled detailed scouting dossiers and were among the clubs who watched him in person during the summer.
- Recent reports add Real Madrid and Manchester United to a long list of elite clubs monitoring the winger, creating a highly competitive recruitment landscape.
- Vålerenga signed Rajkovic to a new deal reported to run until 2028, a contractual tie that will strengthen the club’s negotiating position in any transfer talks.
- Scouts praise his two-footed technical skill, physical development and ability to play centrally or out wide, and his rise could prompt early formal approaches that are likely to be complex because of age rules and competing interest.
