Overview
- Multiple outlets report Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle tracking Fredrikstad FK midfielder Eirik Granaas, with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund also linked.
- There are no confirmed bids or agreements and the teenager remains a Fredrikstad player as clubs position for a future move.
- Granaas, 16, set an Eliteserien record in June 2025 by debuting at 15 years and 90 days, breaking Martin Ødegaard’s mark.
- Several reports say he has made 13 senior appearances for Fredrikstad and scored once, highlighting unusual first-team exposure at his age.
- Because FIFA blocks under-18 international transfers, interested teams can only monitor or line up deals to activate in 2028, a path that raises timing and development questions echoed in teammate praise and Ødegaard comparisons.
