Jacob Rasmussen is moving from Bröndby IF to Salzburg and has signed a contract running until 30 June 2027.

The 28-year-old central defender brings experience from several top European leagues like the Eredivisie and Serie A, having played for Feyenoord, Vitesse Arnheim and FC Empoli. He was most recently at Bröndby, where he was not only a key pillar of the defence (making 70 appearances in two years) but also captained the team.

The Dane will wear the shirt number 2 and will join training tomorrow.

Jacob Rasmussen is a player who is bringing a lot of experience, and speaks fluent German, English and Danish while being a true leader. Coupled with his good ability to open the play with his left foot and his presence on the pitch, he will enrich us as a group. We had some very good open discussions with him and are pleased to be able to welcome him.

Rouven Schröder

I am proud and happy to now be a part of this club, and I am prepared to give my all. FC Red Bull Salzburg are a big name in European football and the work is very professional here. I am - just like the club - hungry for wins and titles, and I know just what is possible here, which just makes it all suit so well. I didn't need long to think about it. I want to give my all from day one here and convince everyone with my performances.
