Köln submitted a bid of approximately €5 million for 19-year-old Gambian centre-back Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh, which Tromsø rejected. In addition to Köln's attempt, Genoa and Norwich have also requested information on the player. The Norwegian club anticipates more offers will arrive because many teams are interested. Kinteh joined Tromsø in March 2025, has a contract until the end of 2029, and has one cap for The Gambia. His market value on Transfermarkt is €5.00m. In February 2026, an offer from Al-Ahli was reportedly made for around €6 million, which could rise to €8 million with add-ons. By March 2026, Tromsø's asking price had reportedly increased to €30 million.
