Froholdt wanted by many, €85m clause and contract until 2030 | OneFootball

Signed by Copenhagen in the last summer transfer window for around 20 million euros – a figure that could rise to 22 million depending on individual and collective objectives –, Victor Froholdt has stood out this season at FC Porto.

The Danish international was called up by Italian coach Francesco Farioli for all 16 matches the Dragons have played in 2025/26, recording two goals, three assists, and a series of performances that have drawn attention, even outside Portugal, with growing interest from clubs every month.

This Friday, in statements to the Scandinavian portal Tipsbladet, the Italian journalist specialized in the transfer market, Gianluca di Marzio, listed the teams most closely following the progress of the 19-year-old.

“It’s clear that FC Porto does not want to sell Victor Froholdt, but AS Roma is looking at him. Napoli as well. And Atalanta. They’re watching him, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be able to sign him. Even in the Premier League, both Bournemouth and Brighton are interested. And Premier League clubs have the money for him,” he said.

It should be noted that Victor Froholdt has a contract with the blue and white club until June 30, 2030, protected by a release clause of 85 million euros. Additionally, his previous club secured 10% of any profit from a potential sale.

Copenhagen appearance gives FC Porto peace of mind

Despite the growing interest in Froholdt, FC Porto has room to manage the situation calmly, especially in the face of potential offers in the upcoming winter transfer window, which opens in about a month and a half.

This is because, before arriving in Invicta, the defensive midfielder played once for Copenhagen (he started and played the full 90 minutes in a 3-2 win over Viborg). According to FIFA regulations, that appearance prevents him from representing another club during this season, which ensures the player will remain at Dragão until the end of the season.

The only way to circumvent this rule would be a transfer to a competition that starts in January 2026 – as is the case, for example, with the Brazilian league – a scenario that, however, is practically unfeasible given the amounts required to secure his transfer.

Froholdt with eyes on the 2026 World Cup

For now, despite the rumors, Victor Froholdt remains fully focused on Denmark’s senior national team, which is preparing to face Belarus and Scotland – on November 15 and 18 respectively – in the final stage of European qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

Denmark currently leads Group C with ten points, the same as Scotland, followed by Greece with three and Belarus with zero points, which guarantees at least a place in the World Cup qualifying playoffs.
