Girona, affiliated with Manchester City, was reportedly in advanced negotiations to sign Sverre Halseth Nypan. However, the player decided to reject the move in order to finish the season with Rosenborg. Arsenal was said to have attempted to negotiate a deal exceeding €10 million for Nypan and was allegedly in advanced discussions alongside Manchester City's affiliate club Girona, with Aston Villa also actively pursuing his signature. Due to the numerous offers, Nypan reportedly felt uncertain about making a decision, leading the 18-year-old to choose to take more time to decide on his preferred club, having been scouted by Manchester United previously as well.
