The Bundesliga club have confirmed the signing of Norwegian goalkeeper Orjan Nyland on a contract running until 2028.
The 35-year-old returns to Leipzig after previously spending the second half of the 2022/23 season on loan at the club. Nyland joins as a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Sevilla at the end of June.
Nyland recently played a key role in Norway's historic run to the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals, memorably saving a penalty from Bruno Guimarães in a dramatic 2-1 victory over Brazil in the Round of 16.
Speaking after completing his move, Nyland said: "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."
The experienced goalkeeper has previously represented Molde, Ingolstadt, Aston Villa, Reading and Sevilla, and has earned 76 caps for the Norway national team.
