Victor Froholdt at brother’s new deal with his boyhood club | OneFootball

Hjalte Froholdt, brother of FC Porto midfielder Victor Froholdt, has renewed his contract with Lyngby, the Danish club where he developed as a player, until June 2030. The announcement was made this Tuesday, and the team, which was promoted to the top division this season, revealed that the 18-year-old right-back will begin training with the first team next season.

“Hjalte has been part of Lyngby for several years and is now continuing his development, which had already earned him his first contract with the club when he was an under-17 player. Hjalte Froholdt’s renewal comes as Lyngby has just completed its 1,000th consecutive match with an academy graduate in the starting lineup, and Froholdt becomes the latest example of a player from the club’s academy rising to the first team,” the club wrote on social media.

As can be seen in Lyngby’s social media post, Victor Froholdt was by his younger brother Hjalte’s side during this special moment. The two posed for a photograph with a shirt reading “Froholdt 2030.” The FC Porto player took advantage of the end-of-season break to return home and visit his brother, who turned 18 on May 24.

The two brothers began their youth careers at Vallensbaek, but in 2019 Hjalte moved to Lyngby, the club he has represented until now at under-19 level. Victor, meanwhile, came through Copenhagen’s youth ranks and, last summer, FC Porto paid €20 million to sign him, making it the biggest sale in the Danish club’s history.
