LONDON: RB Leipzig have re-signed Norway goalkeeper Orjan Nyland on a contract through 2028, the Bundesliga club announced on Tuesday.
The 35-year-old returns to Leipzig, where he played on loan in the 2022-23 season, as a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Sevilla at the end of June.Nyland became a national hero during Norway’s historic run to the World Cup quarter-finals, saving a penalty from Brazil’s Bruno Guimaraes in a dramatic 2-1 last-16 victory last month. “When the opportunity arose to return to RB Leipzig, I didn’t have to think twice. I have many positive memories of the club and the people here, and I’m really looking forward to seeing them again,” Nyland said.
