Toulouse Football Club has officially submitted a €2.5 million offer to Tromsø IL for Norwegian centre‑back Tobias Guddal, aiming to shore up the back line before the league resumes. The rose‑garonne side wants to act swiftly, with the summer market already well underway.
Who is Tobias Guddal and why target him?
Tobias Guddal, 23, currently plays for Tromsø IL in Norway's Eliteserien. Contracted until June 2028, he has featured in 15 matches across all competitions this season and even recorded an assist. His age and growth potential make him a prized target for European scouts, including the TFC.
Where does the TFC stand in Ligue 1?
At present, Toulouse Football Club sits 10th in Ligue 1 with 44 points, posting a record of 12 wins, 8 draws and 13 losses from 33 games. The team has scored 47 goals while conceding 46, a +1 goal difference, and remains 32 points behind leaders Paris Saint‑Germain, making every reinforcement vital.
What are the stakes of this deal?
The TFC aims to add solidity to a defence that has let in 46 goals this season. Guddal, a centre‑back comfortable on the ball, fits the technical staff’s profile. Securing him before July 1 would allow integration into summer training and preparation for the second half of the campaign.
When might a final decision be reached?
Negotiations between the clubs are ongoing. Transferfeed reports the offer has already been sent and talks could intensify in the coming days. The decisive factor remains Tromsø IL’s asking price, bolstered by Guddal’s long‑term contract.
What do fans expect?
Supporters of the Ville Rose are looking for concrete progress. After several summer rumors, this case signals the TFC’s ambition to strengthen the squad. If the transfer materialises, fans can anticipate a young defender quickly adapting and helping the club chase European spots.
