Thus, the 28-year-old national team player returns to the club where he took the first steps in a career that has since taken him through Dutch, Austrian, English, Italian, and German top football.
For sporting director Kristian Bach Bak, the signing of Rasmus Nissen Kristensen is both a significant sporting reinforcement and a conscious strategic prioritisation.
"It is a strategic cornerstone for us to have strong Scandinavian profiles who can take the lead and raise the demands in everyday life. “NK” fits very precisely here; he is in his prime for football, he comes with experience from some of Europe's biggest leagues and the Danish national team, and at the same time, he has FC Midtjylland under his skin", says Kristian Bach Bak.
For Rasmus Nissen Kristensen, returning to FC Midtjylland is an active choice of the club, the project and the next chapter in his career.
"For me, it is first and foremost about the timing for my family and me - and about a very special opportunity to return home to FC Midtjylland. It is my club, and when the opportunity arose in a way where I could really feel that FC Midtjylland wanted me, things came together. I come from a good stay in Frankfurt, and that is precisely why it is also a very active option. I come home because I believe in what is going on here and because I can see myself having a big role in moving the club forward", says "NK".
