It was reported that Dynamo Dresden, Holstein Kiel, and Karlsruher SC were among several clubs that had shown interest in Sigurd Haugen, a 28-year-old Norwegian striker from TSV 1860 München. The player scored 16 goals in the 3. Liga last season, making him his club's top scorer. It is now understood that Haugen is close to joining 1. FC Nürnberg. Haugen is in Nuremberg to complete his medical. It is believed that no transfer fee will be necessary for the move, despite his contract running until 2027, because of 1860 München's forced relegation. According to Transfermarkt, the striker has a current market value of €600k. He has also been capped twice for the Norway U19 team.
