The Molde Chronicle
Match19 Aug 2026
Molde march on in the cup
Odd are out and Molde go through, 2‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.
Match19 Aug 2026
Cruel end for Odd as Molde pounce
There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Molde scored in the 118th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Blerton Isufi, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.82
A mark of 7.82 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Only the photograph left for Vebjørn Hoff
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Vebjørn Hoff will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Molde the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Molde say no — this time
The offer from HB Køge for Kristoffer Barmen was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Oscar Vilhelmsson will not be coming to Molde
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Preußen Münster is saying, and nobody at Molde is enjoying the guessing.
Boardroom24 Aug 2026
Vebjørn Hoff has agreed to leave Molde for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Business is business: Albert Posiadała goes
Crvena Zvezda paid $1.2M and Molde took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Too dear: Molde walk away from Marcus Melchior
$490.0K was the most the club would pay and Sandefjord were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.
