Gabriel Rajkovic Draws Widespread Interest From Europe’s Elite

Valerenga’s 15-year-old has attracted scouting files from leading clubs because his early senior goals, positional versatility and contract to 2028 make any transfer competitive.

Overview

Rajkovic, who signed a new contract in March 2026, became the youngest player to appear in Norway’s Eliteserien when he debuted at 15 years and 20 days.
He has already made 14 senior appearances for Valerenga with three goals and one assist and has two Norway Under-16 caps and one goal.
Reports say Arsenal and Chelsea have compiled detailed scouting dossiers on the winger, while clubs including Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester United are also reported to be monitoring him.
One named journalist has specifically claimed Chelsea are leading the race, but that assertion rests on limited sourcing in the coverage and no bids have been confirmed.
Because his contract runs until the end of 2028 and scouts watched him in person when he scored in August, any move is expected to be highly competitive and could shape how Valerenga manages his next steps in senior football.
