According to German transfer journalist Florian Plettenberger, Edvin Austbø is planning to leave Viking for a bigger club during the summer transfer window, and FC København is named as a potential suitor. It is believed that FC København has shown concrete interest, as have several other clubs. Austbø's estimated cost is around 15-20 million euros.

The 20-year-old left winger has for a long time been considered a highly-talented player and achieved a significant success during Viking's title-winning season. He is very agile and a strong dribbler, technically gifted, and has a good shot. A move to a top league in the future seems likely.
