Norwich City has successfully signed Mathias Kvistgaarden from Brøndby IF by activating a release clause of 6.9 million GBP. The transfer was unexpected due to high interest from clubs across Europe. Connor Southwell, a reporter closely covering Norwich, expressed surprise at the successful signing, considering the competition for Kvistgaarden's signature and his impressive goal record for Brøndby last season. The club is excited about his versatility, allowing him to play across the forward line.

Mathias Kvistgaarden is on the verge of transferring to Norwich in the Championship. While Brøndby had initially aimed for a sale price of 100 million DKK, a specific release clause set for the summer of 2025 allowed him to be sold for around 8 million EUR (60 million DKK), which could not be negotiated. Both Lens and Norwich expressed willingness to meet this clause, but Kvistgaarden decided to prioritize a move to Norwich. According to Sky Sports, the transfer price is reported to be 6.9 million GBP, which equates to 60 million DKK. Although various sources have provided different price estimates, Brøndby has managed to secure a resale clause, which is typically between 10-15%. Kvistgaarden is anticipated to sign a four-year contract with Norwich, where he will reunite with his former teammates Anis Ben Slimane and Oscar Schwartau.

Mathias Kvistgaarden is set to join Norwich on a four-year contract. The transfer is close to completion with only minor details remaining between the clubs. Kvistgaarden prioritized joining Norwich due to the opportunity to be the first-choice striker. The transfer was reported to be near completion by Foot Mercato. Norwich's new manager, Liam Manning, sees Kvistgaarden as the preferred striker for the upcoming season in the Championship, aiming for promotion to the Premier League.

Mathias Kvistgaarden, the promising Danish international forward, has decided to join Norwich, 13th in the Championship, despite RC Lens having reached an agreement with Brondby and making efforts to convince him to join them. The decision comes as a significant disappointment for RC Lens, who had their fans actively campaigning for his transfer with the hashtag #KvisgarteenLensois trending in France. Meanwhile, the club will now focus on other alternatives, while Norwich City secures a talented addition to their squad.
