Expressen say that Malmö FF are making a “serious effort” to sign the 34-year-old, who represented the blue sky between 2012-2015. According to the newspaper, the parties have already held “concrete talks” about a possible move in January.
Olsen is under contract until this summer. But Aston Villa are said to be open to letting their goalkeeper leave the club as early as this winter.
During the national team meetings over the years, the 34-year-old has made it clear on several occasions that he wants to return to MFF at some point. In November 2022, Olsen said the following, for example The football channel:
– I really want to come home. He will come.
He had 2.5 years left on his contract then.
Is it late?
– Very possible, Olsen answered.
The 75-time national team goalkeeper has a solid track record. Apart from Aston Villa, Olsen also has a history at FC Copenhagen, Paok, Roma, Cagliari, Everton and Sheffield United.
MFF has Johan Dahlin and Ricardo Friedrich under contract for the 2025 season, as their goalkeeper.
