Abdoulie Tamba is on the verge of making history as Fortune Football Club’s record transfer after the Swedish Allsvenskan club, IFK Norrköping, submitted an offer of SEK 1.5 million (€130,000), according to Footy-Africa’s exclusive information.
This deal is expected to include a 15% sell-on clause, marking a significant financial windfall for Fortune FC. The Gambian U20 defender is likely to sign a four-year contract with the Swedish side, which represents a major step in his career.
Tamba, known for his solid defensive performances and leadership at the youth level, has attracted interest from several European clubs. Along with the offer from Norrköping, he was also courted by Norwegian clubs, and notably, FC Porto, one of Portugal’s most prestigious teams, made two attempts to secure his services.
However, complications related to acquiring a work visa prevented the deal from going through, leaving Tamba with fewer options.

The move to IFK Norrköping, however, presents a promising opportunity for the 20-year-old as he looks to continue his development in one of Scandinavia’s top leagues.
For Fortune FC, the deal marks a significant moment in the club’s history, showcasing their ability to produce top talent that draws interest from major European clubs.
With Tamba’s talent and potential, the upcoming move to Norrköping could be just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting career at the highest levels of European football.
