Atlanta United sends Stian Gregersen to Swedish club Malmö FF for undisclosed fee

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — Atlanta United has sent defender Stian Gregersen to Swedish powerhouse Malmö FF for an undisclosed fee.

Gregersen joined the Five Stripes in 2024 and was a staple of the backline throughout his time with the team. He made 69 appearances for Atlanta, scoring three goals and one assist.

The 31-year-old Norwegian international became excess goods during the summer transfer window; Atlanta signed Paraguayan international Júnior Alonso through the 2028-29 season and Chilean international Paulo Díaz through 2028 with options for 2029 and 2030. Both Alonso and Díaz are likely to be the top choices at center back under Tata Martino, so Gregersen was relegated to a bench role at best.

24-time Swedish champions Malmö are currently seventh in the Swedish first division.
