Ørjan Nyland has become one of the most sought-after free agents following his outstanding performances for Norway at the 2026 World Cup, and the experienced goalkeeper could join a Champions League club this summer.
In recent weeks, Leeds United and Everton have both been monitoring Nyland as they search for an experienced backup goalkeeper. The 35-year-old impressed during the World Cup, convincing both Premier League clubs that he has the quality and reliability to strengthen their squads.
According to Sporten, Nyland has now been offered to Stuttgart as the German club look to reinforce their goalkeeping department. The report states that Stuttgart are considering the experienced Norwegian as they assess their options during the transfer window.
Premier League clubs remain interested
Leeds United and Everton believe Nyland’s experience would make him an excellent addition to their squads. His displays on the international stage have increased interest in his services, and both clubs are reportedly considering approaching him before the transfer window closes.
As a free agent, Nyland is in a strong position to evaluate his options and wait for the right opportunity. His availability without a transfer fee makes him an attractive target for clubs seeking an experienced goalkeeper.
Stuttgart could offer Champions League football
Stuttgart are searching for a new goalkeeper because they believe their current first choice lacks the necessary experience. Nyland is viewed as a player capable of providing balance and valuable competition within the squad.
The German club could decide to accept the opportunity to sign him in the coming weeks, although Nyland is also expected to receive interest from Everton and Leeds United during this transfer window. His future remains open as he considers the best destination for the next stage of his career.
The prospect of playing in the Champions League could prove more appealing to Nyland than remaining in the Premier League. While interest from England is significant, the opportunity to compete in Europe’s leading club competition may ultimately influence his decision before the transfer window comes to an end.
