🚨 Reports: Bundesliga side signs World Cup hero! Vini still dreams... | OneFootball

Norway’s sensational run to the World Cup quarter-finals is closely tied to the name Ørjan Nyland. Alongside Erling Haaland, the goalkeeper was one of the key figures behind the Scandinavian summer fairytale.

Nyland probably delivered his best performance in the round of 16 against Brazil. The 35-year-old left superstars around Vinicius Junior utterly frustrated and saved his team with numerous outstanding stops.

RB Leipzig apparently did not miss that match. According to 'Sky' and 'Bild', the Saxons, for whom Nyland briefly played during the 2022/23 season, are on the verge of signing the goalkeeper. 'Sky' is even already calling it a "done deal".

In Saxony, Nyland is expected to step into the shoes of club icon Peter Gulacsi. After eleven years at the club, the veteran is in all likelihood set to join Villarreal CF. 

With Nyland, however, RB are now bringing in a replacement who is equally experienced and high in quality.
