RB Leipzig is reportedly considering a return for Ørjan Nyland.

According to "Sky," the Norwegian national goalkeeper is a possible successor for Peter Gulacsi's position, which is likely to become vacant soon.

Gulacsi is reportedly close to a move to FC Villarreal >>>

Negotiations with Nyland are reportedly already underway. However, the currently clubless 35-year-old is only one of several candidates.

Nyland left Leipzig in 2023

For the Norwegian, it would be a return to Leipzig: in 2022/23, he was already under contract with the Saxons, making three appearances between the posts back then.

This year, Nyland would likely only be planned as the number two in Leipzig. The 24-year-old Belgian Maarten Vandevoordt is expected to start the upcoming season as the primary goalkeeper for the "Red Bulls."

For the past three years, Nyland was under contract with FC Sevilla, but he was only second choice there recently. At the football World Cup in America, however, the keeper impressed with good performances, including saving a penalty against Brazil.
