There’s fresh movement around Tobias Hjerto‑Dahl after reports that Championship side Cardiff have lodged a concrete offer with Tromsø (TIL). The story, carried by Nordlys and backed up by iTromso, says the bid tops NOK 100 million and that talks between the clubs have been going on for some time.
What the papers are saying
To be clear, this is all reporting at the moment: the figure is described as slightly higher than a previous bid from Besiktas that the club once accepted but the player declined. Since that episode, Hjerto‑Dahl has signed a new contract at TIL and been noticeable in the Eliteserien — the reports remind us he’s scored seven goals this season. There’s also mention that Cardiff’s owner, Vincent Tan, has reportedly signed off on the approach. TIL haven’t publicly answered the bid yet.
Where Rangers fit in
We know Rangers had an offer rejected earlier this summer, so we’re not coming into this cold. You can see why clubs are circling: a young forward, regular minutes and a fresh contract makes a tidy target. That said, nothing is done. Nordlys suggests the Cardiff bid is in a range where the clubs could agree, but it probably needs tweaking to reach a deal.
What happens next?
Realistically, it’s a three‑part process — clubs to agree terms, player to be happy with the move, and personal terms to be settled. Other teams could still join the chase, and Hjerto‑Dahl has the final say on where he wants to head. For us supporters it’s a waiting game: the market’s busy and young talents don’t stay under the radar for long. If anything materialises, Rangers News Views will cover it, but until TIL response or an official statement arrives it’s still very much a developing situation.
