Veton Berisha left Molde after the two parties agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent, allowing him to become a free agent. The forward had faced challenges in securing playing time in recent seasons due to Molde's emphasis on younger players and his own injury problems, which limited his role. As one of the higher earners in the team, he was placed on the transfer list earlier in the summer, but no suitable offers emerged. With no clubs coming forward to sign him, both Berisha and Molde concluded that parting ways was the best solution. Shortly after his peaceful exit, he joined Viking on a free transfer. This marks his third stint at Viking, despite some fan opposition due to his previous departure in 2022. The move surprised many, as there had been no prior indication of a return to Viking, and some supporters continue to oppose his return due to lingering resentment over his earlier exit.
