“From the very first day, I felt welcomed, and I truly value that. A special thanks to all my teammates, as without their support, I wouldn’t be where I am now,” he added.

Rouven Schröder, the Sporting Director at Red Bull Salzburg, expressed his delight at Jacob Rasmussen’s decision to further his career in Austria.

“Jacob Rasmussen is a player who brings a wealth of experience, and he is fluent in German, English, and Danish, making him a natural leader. His ability to open up play with his left foot and his commanding presence on the pitch will greatly benefit our team. We had very constructive discussions with him, and we are excited to welcome him aboard,” stated Schröder.

The 28-year-old central defender has garnered experience in several top European leagues, including the Eredivisie and Serie A, having previously played for Feyenoord, Vitesse Arnhem, and FC Empoli.
