AFP Brynjar Ingi Erluson, [email protected] Hörður Björgvin Magnússon, landsliðsmaður í knattspyrnu, er á leið til enska B-deildarfélagsins Bristol City en þetta staðfesti hann við mbl.is í dag. Enska félagið kaupir hann frá ítalska meistaraliðinu Juventus. Hörður, sem er 23 ára gamall varnarmaður, gekk til liðs við Juventus á láni frá Fram í byrjun árs 2011. Félagið framlengdi lánið sex mánuðum síðar og í byrjun árs 2012 var hann keyptur til ítalska meistaraliðsins. Hann var í láni hjá ítalska B-deildarliðinu Spezia árið 2013 en síðustu tvö tímabil hefur hann leikið með Cesena, bæði í A-deildinni og B-deildinni. Hörður er nú á leið til enska B-deildarliðsins Bristol City en Juventus samþykkti þriggja milljóna evra kauptilboð í leikmanninn sem gerir hann að dýrasta leikmanni í sögu félagsins. Tilboðið var samþykkt fyrir Evrópumótið en Hörður skoðaði aðstæður hjá félaginu fyrir helgi. Hann gerir þriggja ára samning við Bristol City en þjálfari liðsins er Lee Johnson, sem lék með liðinu frá 2006 til 2012. Bristol City var nýliði í ensku B-deildinni á síðasta tímabili en liðið lenti í 18. sæti deildarinnar.
For the ones not clever like Red Robin to speak Icelandic! Magnusson striker is set to English B-division Bristol City but affirmed he mbl.is today. English company buys it from the Italian championship teams Juventus. Lily, a 23-year-old defender joined Juventus on loan until the beginning of 2011. The company extended loan six months later, in early 2012, he signed for Italian masters team. He was on loan at Italian B-Division Spezia in 2013, but the last two seasons he has played for Cesena, both in Serie A and B league. Lily is heading to English B-division Bristol City Juventus agreed a three million bid for the player making him the most expensive player in history. The offer was accepted for the Euros but Lily examined the situation at the club for the weekend. He makes three-year contract with Bristol City coach Lee Johnson, who played with the team from 2006 to 2012. Bristol City was a rookie in the Championship last season, but the team was in 18th in the standings.
Would be a pretty random association for an Icelandic journalist to make up - but I wouldn't be surprised if it were made up entirely.
It is happening guys Stockhausen has just tweeted it now,bit behind his Icelandic counterpart though.
Iceland star Hordur Magnusson set to join Bristol City in time for La Manga training camp ICELAND defender Hordur Magnusson is expected to complete his move to Bristol City in time to travel to Spain this weekend for the squad's pre-season camp. The 23-year-old, who was a member of Iceland's Euro 2016 squad, is understood to have agreed a three-year deal to join City from Italian champions Juventus for around £2.5 million. A well-placed source in Reykjavik has told the Bristol Post the deal "is 100 per cent done" and the 6ft 3in Magnusson "will fly with the team to La Manga".

Magnusson – full name Hordur Bjorgvin Magnusson – did not feature in any of Iceland's five matches at the Euros in France, but is on the fringe of his country's first XI, having made his most recent start in the pre-tournament friendly against Liechtenstein. please log in to view this image Hordur Magnusson tracks Inter Milan's Colombian star Fredy Guarin during a Serie A match in 2015 His club pedigree is strong, too, having joined the academy system at Juventus from his local club, Fram, in 2011. Although he did not appear for The Old Lady's first team while in Italy, he gained valuable senior experience on loan in Serie A and B. In the 2013-14 season, he went on loan to Serie B side Spezia, playing 20 times, before spending the following season on loan at Serie A Cesena, for whom he featured 12 times in the Italian top flight. When Cesena were relegated, they returned to Juventus to take Magnusson on a further season-long loan deal, and he played 26 times as the side reached the Serie B play-offs.
Looking hopeful - minimum standard English Championship. In Italy they know how to defend, so he could be quite a capture
I quite like how this has come out of nowhere - a very interesting prospect and if we get Adam Matthews on board too, we'll have made good additions to defence, which I was concerned was being slightly overlooked. Getting guys in early so they can get a full pre-season seems like good practice to me - I don't like getting over-confident before a ball is kicked, but so far City's transfer activity has been very good.
It has been from the incoming perspective with only Wagstaff leaving. Lets hope the likes of Flint and Kodjia don't leave.
Don't know anything about the lad but clearly has great potential. Another sign that LJ & team are on the same page this year. Where are all the naysayers??
