On 16 August 2017, Normann joined Molde FK on loan until the end of the 2017 season. [4] On 26 January 2018, Molde announced that Normann's loan deal had been extended until the summer of 2018. [5]

On 28 January 2019, he signed with the Russian Premier League club FC Rostov. [6]

On 29 August 2021, he joined English club Norwich City on loan for the 2021–22 season, with an option to purchase. [7]

On 16 August 2022, Normann moved on loan to Lecce in Italy. [8] On 18 August 2022, the Italian club announced Normann wouldn’t be part of the team due to bureaucratic reasons. [9]

On 6 September 2022, Normann joined Dynamo Moscow on loan with an option to buy. [10]

In August 2023, he terminated the contract with FC Rostov and FC Dynamo unilaterally and left Russia. As the reason, fears for their safety due to the UAV attack on Moscow City were named. [11] Subsequently, FIFA ordered Norman to pay compensation to Rostov. [12]

Normann made his debut for the Norway national team on 5 September 2019 in a 2020 Euro qualifier against Malta, as a 76th-minute substitute for Stefan Johansen. [14]

After he signed a contract with Russian side Dynamo Moscow, the Norwegian Football Federation banned him from playing for Norway. [15] Norwegian manager Ståle Solbakken said: "We'll see if Mathias one day returns to the Norwegian national team, but right now it is completely out of the question", seemingly referring to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
