Welcome to Rose City Kristoffer Velde

The Portland Timbers have acquired forward Kristoffer Velde from Greek Super League 1 powerhouse Olympiacos FC, the club announced Wednesday.

The 25-year-old Norway international arrives for a reported $5 million transfer fee. He will occupy a Designated Player roster spot and is under contract through 2028 with an option for 2029.

Velde joins a Timbers attack led by All-Star midfielder David Da Costa and breakout winger Antony. Uruguay international forward Jonathan Rodríguez was placed on the season-ending injury list last month.

“We are excited to welcome Kristoffer Velde as the newest member of the Portland Timbers. It was a necessity in this transfer window to explore the market with the intent of adding a dangerous attacking threat, and Kristoffer gives us just that,” said general manager Ned Grabavoy.

“His aggressive mindset to go at defenders and cause issues for opponents off the dribble should make our attack more balanced and powerful. We are eager for his debut in the Green and Gold.”
