Andreas Schjelderup has attracted transfer interest following a strong World Cup campaign with Benfica.
Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs pursuing the 22-year-old and have prepared a €40 million offer.
That bid is reported to fall short of the required fee, with estimates suggesting around £68 million would be needed to complete a move.
It remains unclear whether Tottenham are prepared to meet a premium valuation for the attacker.
The club faces clear gaps in wide areas and requires technically gifted forwards to strengthen the attack.
Schjelderup offers pace, creativity, and a goal-scoring threat that could address those shortcomings.
A move to the Premier League would represent a significant career step for the Norwegian international.
Tottenham have already added quality players this summer as they aim to recover from a disappointing season.
Securing the young attacker could improve the team's output in the final third ahead of a trophy push.
Given his age and potential, the investment may prove justified with continued development and coaching.
