At the very beginning of the transfer window, Molde snapped up the Eliteserien’s most sought-after player. Eriksen arrived in Molde on Monday evening and on Tuesday morning it became clear that Kristian Eriksen will be blue/white in Rosenes by. – It is very exciting with new challenges. I look forward to meeting new teammates, and people both in and around the club. It will be a slightly different everyday life, but a challenge I am really looking forward to, says Kristian Eriksen (27). The contract runs until 2026. According to what TV 2 has learned, HamKam will have accepted an offer of around 15 million from Molde for a transfer for Kristian Eriksen. The clubs thus agree on the conditions. Kristian Eriksen thus becomes the most expensive player HamKam has ever sold. Previously, Petter Vaagen Moen’s transfer to Brann was a record sum of NOK 10 million. Kristian Eriksen originally had a contract with HamKam until the 2023 season. Bodø/Glimt also with offers During Saturday’s match between HamKam and Kristiansund, VG could reveal that Molde will have offered both ten and twelve million for Kristian Eriksen. HamKam is said to have refused these offers. And to Hamar Arbeiderblad, the player himself expressed a desire for a transfer to Molde. – I want a transfer to Molde now. I like Kamma, but I have to think about myself and my own career as well. I think this is a great opportunity and gives a lot back to the club. It is more than any other Kamma player has been sold for, Eriksen told the newspaper. HamKam didn’t really want to let go of Kristian Eriksen this summer, but could agree to let him go in the new year. A bid from Bodø/Glimt should be accepted, HA learned. But the situation changed on Monday morning. Then TV 2 learned that Glimt wanted Eriksen in the middle of the season and thus sent a new offer to HamKam. During Monday, Molde had therefore won the bidding war for Hamarsingen’s signature. For Bodø/Glimt and Molde, who both play European Cup matches, the deadline for registering players for the matches is this week. Thus, it was urgent for the clubs to get a clarification on the transfer.

Before the season, Rosenborg and Kjetil Rekdal wanted the attacking player for Lerkendal, something Eriksen himself did not hide that he wanted either. Hamar boy Kristian Eriksen has four goals and three assists this season and has been HamKam’s most important player. Therefore, it was probably a bit far-fetched for the club to let him go in the middle of a season that could end in a relegation battle. HamKam is in 12th place in the Eliteserien and has 18 points. Only two points separate HamKam and relegation qualification.
