Fulham transfer target Marcus Pedersen
Marcus Pedersen impressed for Norway at the World Cup and could be in line for a Fulham move.
The defender has spent two seasons at Torino, establishing himself as an important part of the side. This has led to him becoming a regular for the Norwegian national side. He played four times at the World Cup, scoring once.
His goal came in the 3-2 win over Senegal, and he started against Cote D’Ivoire in the knockout stages.
With the player’s stature now growing, Fulham have made attempts to sign him.
Initial talks held
Today’s La Stampa – via ToroNews, report that the World Cup has helped Marcus Pedersen attract interest from Fulham. They have moved for him, holding initial talks.
Crucially, Pedersen is keen on a move to England. He wants to take advantage of his raised profile and leave the Turin club.
Torino, at their end, are happy to cash in. Their valuation remains unknown.
The Urbano Cairo-owned club paid a package worth €4.5m to sign him permanently after an initial loan. This suggests a deal shouldn’t be too complex for the London side.
Our take: Situation could be in Fulham’s favour
When Marcus Pedersen joined Torino permanently in 2025, he signed a two-year deal. Now, his contract runs out in 2027, even if the Italian side have the option for a renewal. It shows the move was always seen as a way to gain playing time before joining a bigger club.
It swings the situation in Fulham’s favour, who can sign him for an affordable fee right after an impressive World Cup.
At 25, Pedersen still has a lot of room to grow. In the past, he has also filled in at left and is versatile enough to play further forward too. A deal for him could be a bargain for Alvaro Arbeloa’s side.
