For almost 20 years, Tore Andre Flo’s Chelsea to Rangers transfer was the most expensive Norwegian transfer of all time. Now he is down to 14th place (and 22nd place)
This list will certainly need to be updated over the summer, with some hot candidates for some big transfers. Two players who have both done brilliantly in the World Cup for Norway, Bodø/Glimt’s Patrick Berg and Benfica’s Andreas Schjelderup could quickly end up on the top list.

A possible transfer for Sander Berge to Manchester United, or Julian Ryerson to the same club could quickly be high on the list.

It is hardly possible to overestimate Patrick Berg’s contribution to Norway’s massive World Cup success
There are also things in the works for Antonio Nusa and Alexander Sørloth, those transfers can also be big.
