Overview

  • Norbye signed a professional contract with RB Leipzig in April 2025, committing to the club until 2028.
  • The 20-year-old center-back captained Leipzig’s U19 team and was named in five senior matchday squads under interim coach Zsolt Löw last season.
  • He will spend the 2025/26 campaign on loan at Arminia Bielefeld to secure his first professional minutes in the 2. Bundesliga.
  • Sport director Michael Mutzel and coach Mitch Kniat orchestrated Arminia’s return to the second division and expect Norbye to integrate swiftly into their defensive unit.
  • Leipzig’s sporting director Marcel Schäfer praised Norbye’s physicality, left-footed passing and dueling robustness as ideal foundations for his next development phase.
