Norway goalkeeper who saved Brazil's penalty is without a club

Goalkeeper Orjen Nyland, from Norway, who shone when he saved a penalty from Bruno Guimarães in the game against Brazil this Sunday (5), in the round of 16 of the World Cup, is currently without a club.

The 35-year-old archer, considered one of the main names in the Norwegian national team, had his contract with Sevilla, in Spain, terminated in June. The decision not to renew his contract with the Spanish team left him free on the market.

About five weeks ago, Nyland published a farewell message to Sevilla on social media. In the text, he thanked him for his time at the club and revealed that he had postponed surgery to help the team. Sevilla fought against relegation until the end of the Spanish Championship.

Physical problems marked his time at Sevilla
During his time at Sevilla, the goalkeeper also had physical problems. At different times, he was absent from the team due to hip injuries and a ligament injury to his ankle, which may have influenced his non-renewal.

Nyland's professional trajectory
At 35 years old, Ørjan Nyland is the 16th player with the most appearances for the Norwegian national team, making 75 appearances. Revealed by Hødd, from Norway, the goalkeeper built a large part of his career in English football.

In the United Kingdom, he played for clubs such as Norwich City, Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Reading. Before arriving at Sevilla in 2023, Nyland also had a brief spell at RB Leipzig, in Germany, where he won the German Cup.
