F.C. København is back in the headlines as Serie A side Venezia reports interest in the Icelandic striker Orri Oskarsson. The 21‑year‑old, who was sold to Real Sociedad for 150 million kroner in 2024, may soon face another club move.
What is the background of the interest?
Orri Oskarsson became F.C. København's most expensive sale in the summer of 2024 when he joined La Liga club Real Sociedad for exactly 150 million kroner. After two seasons in Spain, where he finished the last half‑season with five goals in seven matches, he now appears on Venezia's radar. According to La Nuova Venezia, cited by TuttoMercatoWeb, he is one of three players the club is primarily targeting.
Why does Venezia want him?
Venezia has just been promoted to Serie A and needs to boost its attack to survive at the top level. The club has placed Akor Adams from Sevilla as its top priority, but also lists Che Adams from Torino and Orri Oskarsson as secondary targets. They are looking for a young, goal‑scoring forward with proven top‑league experience.
Can Venezia meet the price?
Real Sociedad has not issued an official statement yet, but they will likely expect at least the original purchase price of 150 million kroner. Venezia's finances have been modest in recent years, so the question is whether they can match or exceed that sum. A lower fee would mean a loss for Real, but a structured payment plan could make the deal possible.
What does this mean for F.C. København?
Even though Oskarsson left the club two years ago, his record sale remains a benchmark for F.C. København's transfer strategy. A new deal could provide the Danish side with extra funds to invest in fresh talent or reinforcements. Supporters are watching to see if Venezia can beat Real on price – a win would confirm that F.C. København's selling approach is sustainable long‑term.
What happens next?
Reports suggest Venezia will submit an official offer before the summer window closes. Real Sociedad expects to negotiate terms, while F.C. København monitors the situation to ensure their former player gets the best possible move. Overall, it’s an intriguing period for both the club and the Icelandic striker.
