FC Porto is reportedly adding Norwegian midfielder Eirik Granaas to its roster in a deal worth €2.5 million plus add-ons, plucking the teenager from Fredrikstad FK. The signing puts Porto in competition with some of Europe’s biggest clubs for one of Scandinavian football’s most talked-about young talents.
Granaas, born on March 24, 2010, made his professional debut at 15. He’s been drawing comparisons to Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard in both potential and playing style.
The deal and the hype around Granaas
The reported transfer fee of €2.5 million plus performance-related add-ons represents a significant premium over Granaas’s estimated market value of approximately €900,000. Porto would be paying nearly three times that valuation.
Granaas joined Fredrikstad FK on July 1, 2025, signing a contract through December 31, 2027. His time at the Norwegian club was brief but apparently impressive enough to attract serious attention from across Europe.
