Overview
- RB Leipzig officially announced the free signing of Ørjan Nyland on Tuesday, with the 35-year-old signing a contract that runs through 2028.
- Nyland joins after his Sevilla deal expired and will complete his first training session with the team in Saalfelden while taking over Gulácsi’s squad number.
- The club framed Nyland as an experienced deputy to newly established starter Maarten Vandevoordt, with Leopold Zingerle remaining in the goalkeeping group.
- The move follows long-serving captain Péter Gulácsi’s reported €2 million transfer to Villarreal, a departure that prompted Leipzig to secure immediate cover.
- Nyland returns with prior Leipzig experience from 2022–23, substantial La Liga minutes at Sevilla, and standout World Cup form for Norway that the club cited as a key reason for re-signing him.
