Düsseldorf hat das Dutzend vollgemacht. Ein Norweger soll der zwölfte Neuzugang der Fortuna werden.

Overview

  • Sporting chief Klaus Allofs said Fortuna sought an experienced profile at center back and cited Daland’s consistency during his years in Belgium.
  • Daland moved from Cercle Brugge to Cardiff in 2024 for €4.1 million and remains under contract with the Welsh club until 2028.
  • He made 23 appearances for Cardiff with an average of 68 minutes per match, with injuries hindering a full breakthrough.
  • Transfermarkt lists his market value at €3.5 million, which reports say would make him the most valuable player in Fortuna’s squad.
  • BILD reported he was seen at the stadium before the Karlsruher SC match, and he said the move should help him edge closer to a first Norway senior cap.
