Today is a crucial day for the future of Norwegian midfielder Olaus Skarsem, as the Norwegian transfer window closes at 23:59. Kristiansund is interested in the 27-year-old, who is considered not needed at CSKA, and is ready to sign him. A return to his homeland represents the player's only remaining opportunity to find a new club for the spring, as other markets have already closed. It is reported that Kristiansund is also evaluating other options. If a transfer does not happen today, Skarsem will continue to train with CSKA's reserve team, and the club might consider terminating his contract with compensation. Skarsem joined CSKA Sofia in February 2024 and his contract is due to expire in June 2027. In the current domestic league season, he has made 13 appearances and scored one goal. The midfielder, who has one cap and one goal for Norway's U21 team, has a current Transfermarkt market value of €300k.
