Fantastic star asked straight about potential Liverpool move | OneFootball

Liverpool have been linked with one of the brightest prospects in Europe. Now he's been asked about a move.

Victor Froholdt has been linked with a move to Liverpool this summer after a fantastic debut campaign at FC Porto. The midfielder only moved there in 2025 but he's been a key player as they've won Liga Portugal.

And as with all star performers in Portugal, that means a big-money move could be on the cards. Froholdt is only 20, after all - it feels as though he could rapidly become one of the best around in the right environment.

But when could that move happen? Froholdt has been asked in an interview with A Bola about moving to Liverpool or Arsenal in the summer - the two clubs most linked with a move for him.

It sounds, however, as though the midfielder has no real intention of pushing for a transfer right now. He's set to remain with Porto for at least one more year.

“I am happy to see people following me and to know the fans appreciate my work,” he said. “I focus on the feedback I receive from the coaches, from the team and on the things I can do on the pitch.”

“Now I keep everything else away from where I am, because I am here playing for FC Porto and I am not focused on anything else."

Froholdt, whose release clause stands at around €85m, would almost certainly move if a club paid enough money this summer. But it doesn't appear he'll be one pushing for a move.

If Liverpool are to end up with him, it might take a long wait.

Victor Froholdt: Situation Summary

Porto Performance and Stats

As of 16 May 2026, Victor Froholdt has enjoyed a sensational debut season with Porto following his €20 million move from FC Copenhagen last summer. The 20-year-old Danish midfielder has made 51 appearances across all competitions, helping Porto secure the league title. In Liga Portugal, he has recorded six goals and six assists across 2,793 minutes, maintaining a high average FotMob rating of 7.3. He recently featured as a substitute in a 3–1 defeat to AVS Futebol SAD on 10 May, following goals against C.D. Tondela and Estoril Praia in April.

Transfer Speculation

Froholdt's meteoric rise has attracted intense interest from the Premier League, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Manchester United all scouting him. While he has a release clause exceeding £70 million, reports from 15 May indicate the midfielder has ruled out a summer exit, publicly stating, "I'll be at the Dragão next season."

International Standing

The reigning Danish Football Player of the Year is a guaranteed selection for Denmark’s 2026 World Cup squad this June, having established himself in the senior side over the past year.
