Austrian club RB Salzburg is close to securing the signing of Ghanaian teenager Edmund Baidoo during the ongoing summer transfer window.
The Bundesliga team has reportedly agreed to a deal with Sogndal, valued at €3.3 million, with an additional €1.2 million in potential add-ons, to acquire the services of the 18-year-old.
Baidoo, who is expected to sign a long-term contract with the Austrian champions, will join the team starting from the 2024/25 season.
Having joined Sogndal in March 2024, Baidoo has made a significant impact during his short stint with the Norwegian club. He originally signed with Sogndal after leaving Ghanaian Division Two side AsanSka Football Club.
The versatile forward attracted attention from two Premier League clubs following his breakout performances, but he has chosen to join Salzburg to further his development in Europe.
Baidoo has been impressive this season, contributing to 10 goals in 18 starts in the Norwegian First Division, in addition to recording five goals and assists in three cup matches.
