Brann could lose midfielder Felix Horn Myhre to FC Copenhagen

Brann has again been drawn into a transfer saga: Danish giants FC Copenhagen have expressed interest in 27‑year‑old Felix Horn Myhre, according to the Danish newspaper Bold. Myhre has featured in 175 games and contributed 30 goals for Brann since arriving for free from Vålerenga in 2021, but a lucrative offer may now be hard to turn down with only a year and a half left on his contract.

Why is Myhre attractive to Copenhagen?

FC Copenhagen are searching for a creative midfielder who can add ball control and goal threat. Myhre has shown both scoring and passing ability – 30 goals and 38 assists in 175 matches – and was on Norway's World Cup shortlist, even though he was not selected. Copenhagen already made an informal inquiry in January, but the interest is now clearer, with Myhre listed on the club's official summer reinforcement list.

What does this mean for Brann?

Brann have previously rejected both Copenhagen and Brøndby, but with a contract running until the end of 2027 the pressure is greater. The club currently sits fourth in the Eliteserien with 56 points after 30 games (17‑5‑8) and has just endured a five‑match losing streak, most recently a 1‑2 defeat to Sarpsborg 08 on 29 May 2026. A possible departure could weaken the squad’s firepower in the crucial second half of the season, especially with only one clear scorer – N. Holm with four goals in 12 appearances – standing out.

What happens next?

FC Copenhagen will likely submit a formal bid in the coming weeks. Brann must then decide whether they can replace Myhre with an internal solution or bring in a new player during the winter window. Either way, the decision will affect their next match against Bodø/Glimt at home on 20 September 2026, where Bodø/Glimt sit second in the table. With season stats of 55 scored and 46 conceded (+9), any change in midfield could impact both points chase and goal balance.

Historical perspective and future outlook

Myhre has been one of the hottest names on the transfer market for several windows, but Brann have held onto him as long as possible. Now the question is whether the club will chase short‑term financial gain or retain a player who can still help keep the team in the top four. With 15 points behind leaders Viking, every point counts. A departure could open a spot for a youngster, but also risk weakening the team's chances in the ongoing campaign.

Brann have recently endured a tough stretch with five straight losses, yet with a solid defensive record (46 conceded) and a +9 goal difference, they remain in the hunt for a European spot. How they handle Myhre’s future will be one of the key factors in their push for a higher finish.
