Manchester City have confirmed that 18-year-old midfielder Sverre Nypan will spend the 2025/26 campaign on loan at Middlesbrough, giving the highly rated Norwegian his first taste of English football outside the Premier League.
The deal was finalised over the weekend after being described as almost done earlier in the week. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the move on his official X account , posting:
Nypan's temporary switch forms part of a wider Manchester City plan to trim Pep Guardiola's squad and give minutes to their brightest prospects. Guardiola has repeatedly insisted he wants to work with a smaller, more manageable group, especially after City's 4-0 win against Wolves in pre-season.
