Along with Holstein Kiel, Dynamo Dresden and Karlsruher SC are said to have shown interest in Norwegian striker Sigurd Haugen. However, 1. FC Nürnberg is reportedly close to completing a deal for the 28-year-old from TSV 1860 München, which he joined in July 2025. Haugen is already in Nuremberg to complete his medical on Tuesday. The forward is understood to be available on a free transfer because of 1860 München's forced relegation, despite his contract originally running until 2027. He was his club's top scorer with 16 goals and 4 assists in 35 appearances in the third division last season. The player has a current market value of €600k according to Transfermarkt and has 2 caps for Norway U19.
