Here's Egil's saga in old Norse

And here's a series of dual-language sagas

That's all I've found so far, the second link has about 10 sagas but you might wanna be careful with them, most don't have reviews and some that do are pretty bad (I don't have any of those so I couldn't say personally, the first link is nice though.)

Also, Jesse L. Byock has an old Norse reader coming out in September that will have at least large exerts if not full sagas.
Amazon page here where it's up for pre-order

I just happened to end up at a university that had a professor of Old Norse. Modern Icelandic and Faroese are pretty close and there is an Old Norse dictionary (Zoega's concise dictionary - it's concise because he was going to make a larger one but died before he could). My old norse professor has two textbooks you can get on amazon (textbook 1 and textbook 2) but I don't know how good those are because he was writing them while I was taking his courses. There's also this textbook which I've never used but has good reviews.

You can also learn modern Icelandic and then study Old Norse because they very similar. It may be easier to do it that way. We also read the sagas in the original Old Norse which was very interesting.
