Olsen is an MFF member since childhood. As a seven-year-old, he started playing in the club and after some jumping between other football clubs as a top-team player in 2012, the same year he also made his Allsvenskan debut.

Now he is back in Malmö FF after ten years as a foreign pro, most recently in the Premier League team Aston Villa, which after an initial loan period bought him out from Italian Roma in the summer of 2022.

”I'm coming home with a positive feeling in my body and it feels completely right to move back to Malmö”, says Olsen to MFF's website.

A lot suggests that it will be the national team goalkeeper's last contract in his career. The agreement with Malmö extends over the next 4.5 years.

”I get goosebumps already now when I think about going into the Stadium again. It's been a long time since I experienced it, but the times I've been here, the setting has been fantastic. I've shown clips to teammates in England and they always get impressed”.

Robin Olsen is available for play from July 8. His first match can thus be at home against IFK Norrköping on July 12.
