Sverre Nypan

Rosenborg

In January 2022, Nypan signed his first professional contract with Rosenborg. Just a few months later in April, Nypan signed a new contract and became a part of the first team squad. On 6 November 2022, Nypan made his Rosenborg debut when he started in a league match against Jerv. In doing so, he became the youngest player ever to represent Rosenborg at 15 years and 322 days, beating John Hou Sæter's record of being youngest in an official match and Magnus Holte's record as the youngest in a league match. And since he started the match he also beat Ola By Rise's record from 1977 as youngest to start in the league. On 13 May 2023, Nypan scored his first goal for Rosenborg in 3–2 away defeat against Bodø/Glimt in the Eliteserien. This made him the youngest ever goalscorer in the league for Rosenborg, aged 16 years and 145 days. In September 2023, Nypan signed a new contract with Rosenborg. On 11 October 2023, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 2006 worldwide.

Manchester City

Amid interest from a number of clubs, on 14 June 2025, Premier League club Manchester City reached an agreement for the transfer of Nypan for a fee of £12.5 million. A month later, on 17 July, the deal was made official, with Nypan signing a contract until the summer of 2030. It was later reported that Nypan had verbally agreed a move to Aston Villa before deciding to sign for City instead.
