Roma agree Solbakken sale to Nordsjaelland
According to Il Tempo and Bold.dk, the player has already flown out to Norway to complete and medical and the two clubs are exchanging documents this evening.
This had been an ill-fated transfer to the Stadio Olimpico as a free agent from Bodo/Glimt in January 2023.
Solbakken flopped for Roma

Solbakken made only 15 competitive appearances in the Giallorossi jersey, where he scored one goal and provided two assists.
He went out on a series of loan spells to Olympiacos in Greece, Japanese club Urawa Reds, and spent last season in Serie A with relegated Empoli.
Under contract with Roma until June 2027, this will nonetheless represent a profit for them, as he had arrived for free.
It is going to be a permanent transfer and therefore get him off the Roma books.
This is a return home for the Norway international, who has 11 senior caps for his country, able to play on the right, left or in a more central attacking role.

Despondent Hamilton and Ferrari crash back to earth
Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari crashed back to earth on Sunday when 24 hours after Charles Leclerc claimed the team's first pole of 2025 they left Hungary frustrated and dejected. Seven-time world champion Hamilton, who on Saturday said he was "completely useless" to the team and ready to be replaced, wound up 12th while Leclerc dropped from race leader to a grumbling fourth. Hamilton, backed beforehand by team boss Fred Vasseur, was in a bleak mood suggesting that he remained trapped by a crisis of confidence that has turned his spectacular marquee signing for Ferrari into a nightmare. "When you have a feeling, you have a feeling," he said enigmatically, responding to a question about his comment suggesting that he was no longer good enough for Ferrari and should be replaced. He added: "There's a lot going on in the background that isn't great." Asked if he still loved racing, he replied to say he did, but with little conviction. Leclerc appeared to be little happier after he had failed to convert pole into victory for the 15th time in 16 attempts during the last three years. His one success came in last year's Monaco Grand Prix, his home event. "We lost a podium, so I am very disappointed," said Leclerc, having warned the team during the race that they had bungled his car's set-up in some unspecified way. "But I spoke too quickly because being out of the car, I had a bit more detail about what went on," he added later. "I thought it was about something else that we had discussed, but unfortunately it was on the chassis. "There was an issue on that side and we will look into it for it not to happen again. It doesn't really make me feel any better because when you're fighting for a win, and then you have these kind of issues, it never happens. "We need to look into it to make sure it never happens again because the car was just undriveable. "It was around lap 40 because as soon as I started to struggle and to complain, it was basically when we started to have the issue and it got worse and worse. "It's very frustrating to have everything under control, to know that the pace is in the car to win, and then you end up being nowhere. We lost a podium.' Hamilton, 40, winner of a record eight Hungarian Grands Prix and a record nine poles at the circuit, finished where he started and with his worst result at the circuit, inevitably sparking talk of his possible retirement. But as he headed off towards a summer break, he could look at the joy in the Aston Martin garage where, despite a back muscle injury, his one-time McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso had finished a season's best fifth, aged 44. str/nr

Veteran Howson OK with Boro promotion 'failure'
Jonny Howson said he has no regrets at his failure to take Middlesbrough back into the Premier League. The midfielder left Boro last month after eight years on Teesside in which he played 341 games for the club, scoring 10 goals. The 37-year-old arrived at the Riverside from Norwich City in 2017 just after Boro had been relegated from the top flight but he was never part of a promotion campaign. "For why I came to this club, it was to gain promotion and go back and play in the Premier League with a terrific, well-supported club," he told BBC Radio Tees. "If you're basing it on that, I have failed, and I'm fine with that because I've given it everything I've got." 'I've had life moments here' Howson played under six permanent bosses at Middlesbrough and helped his team reach the play-offs on two occasions, although they lost in the semi-finals in both 2018 and 2023. He was part of the side that enjoyed memorable FA Cup successes over Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the 2021-22 season, and a Carabao Cup semi-final win over Chelsea in the first leg in January 2024, before the second leg ended in a heavy defeat. And the Middlesbrough supporters showed what they thought of Howson's efforts in the pre-season friendly at Rangers as a banner in the away end at Ibrox read: '8 years of loyalty and leadership. Thank you Jonny.' "I probably never thought I'd have eight goes at it, so that's a success in itself," Howson said. "I can look back at my time and be proud because we've created other memories. "Sometimes in life you don't get maybe what you deserve or what you want, but I've got no problem with that. "Look at the other stuff I've created, the people I've met. Promotion and playing in the Premier League is a football thing, but I've had life moments here, which are bigger than that."

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Raiders safety Lonnie Johnson Jr. broke his right leg in Las Vegas' mock game on Saturday, a person with knowledge of the injury told The Associated Press.
