Norway's World Cup campaign might be over but several of Stale Solbakken's side could make huge transfer moves this summer.

Solkbakken's charges lost 2-1 to England in their first-ever quarterfinal on the back of Erling Haaland-inspired wins over the Ivory Coast and Brazil in the knockouts.

The Scandinavians made limited team changes in the tournament, with Solbakken sticking to a set core of players, including Patrick Berg forcing his way into the starting XI ahead of the knockout phase.

The Bodo/Glimt playmaker was vital in Norway's engine room, alongside captain Martin Odegaard and Sander Berge, and he's reportedly considering a second exit from Bodo to test himself in the Premier League ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.

The 28-year-old came through the youth ranks at his hometown club, before joining Lens in 2021, and then returning a year later witht four league titles won across those two spells.

Reports from Teamtalk.com claim five English sides are eyeing up an €8M bid with newly-promoted Coventry City leading the charge.

Hull City and Ipswich Town are also considering offers following their own top-flight return, but West Ham United and Burnley are on the fringes of the race, as Berg prefers to play at the top level at this point in his career.
