However, Liverpool appear to have carefully structured the deal with the future in mind. The club has included both a buy-back clause and a sell-on percentage, ensuring they retain an opportunity to benefit if the youngster’s career takes off in Norway or beyond.

These clauses indicate that Liverpool still believe in the player’s long-term potential, even though he is leaving the club for regular first-team opportunities.

A Short but Memorable Senior Spell
