Sigurd Haugen transferred to Nürnberg from 1860 München as of July 1. The transfer was delayed due to the insolvency proceedings of 1860 München. Sigurd Haugen stated that he remained relaxed because the situation was clear and simply took more time. He also indicated that the insolvency was not the main reason for the transfer, as a move would have been considered even without it, despite him having one year remaining on his contract. Haugen said he was immediately interested when he heard about the interest from 1. FC Nürnberg.

Sigurd Haugen, who scored 16 goals in the previous Drittliga season, is moving from 1860 München to 1. FC Nürnberg. Reportedly, 1. FC Nürnberg is not required to pay a transfer fee because of 1860 München's forced relegation, despite Haugen's contract originally being valid until 2027. FCN sporting director Joti Chatzialexiou stated that Sigurd Haugen has consistently demonstrated his goal-scoring qualities in recent years and has also been impressive in the 3. Liga over the last two years. He added that the circumstances at 1860 provided the opportunity to persuade him to continue his career in Nürnberg. 1. FC Nürnberg is not making the duration of Haugen's contract public.

A report from Bild states that Sigurd Haugen has completed a medical check and signed a three-year contract with Nürnberg. The club cannot yet announce the transfer due to licensing issues at 1860 München and because investor Hasan Ismaik plans to take legal action against the forced relegation and license withdrawal.

Norwegian striker Sigurd Haugen is in Nürnberg and will sign a contract with 1. FC Nürnberg after passing a medical examination. According to BILD information, Haugen will receive a three-year contract. He joins on a free transfer from 1860 München, as he was without a contract due to the club's forced relegation. Other second division clubs, including Dresden, were also interested in Haugen, but 1. FC Nürnberg signed him.
