Club career edit

Early career edit

Born in Copenhagen, Sørensen began playing football with hometown clubs KFUM Roskilde and FC Roskilde before joining Lyngby in 2007. After breaking into the first team, he was under contract until 2013.[3]

Juventus edit

Sørensen officially signed for Juventus on 27 August 2010[3] after a trial with the Turin-based club in July of the same year.[4] After injuries to Leandro Rinaudo and Zdeněk Grygera that would rule them out for several months, Sørensen was called up to the first team for the first time against Bologna on 23 October 2010,[5] and against Milan.[6]

Bologna edit

On 17 January 2012, Sørensen was officially sent to Bologna in a co-ownership deal for €2.5 million (initially in a cash-plus-player deal, for Saphir Taïder).[7] Despite making just three league appearances for his new club during the remainder of the 2011–12 Serie A campaign, the young defender became an integral part of his club's first team throughout the 2012–13 Serie A season, after they had renewed the co-ownership agreement with Juventus.[8]

Return to Juventus edit

On 20 June 2014, Sørensen was re-signed on a permanent basis by Juventus for €800,000.[9][10] In August 2014, Sørensen started training with English side Leeds United ahead of completing a loan move to the club, but the move collapsed after a disagreement between the player's agent and Leeds owner Massimo Cellino, resulting him in returning to Juventus.[11]

Hellas Verona (loan) edit

Sørensen officially signed for Hellas Verona on 29 August 2014 on a one-year loan deal for €300,000.[12][13]

1. FC Köln edit

In July 2015, German Bundesliga side 1. FC Köln signed Sørensen for €1.6 million.[13][14] He quickly established himself as a starter in the centre of Köln's defence and, in January 2017, signed a contract extension until 2021.[15] The team qualified for the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League but suffered relegation just one season later.[16] On 16 January 2021, it was reported that the club had released Sørensen from his contract.[17]

Loan to BSC Young Boys edit

On 18 August 2019, Sørensen was loaned out to Swiss club BSC Young Boys for the 2019-20 season.[18]

Delfino Pescara 1936 edit

Having been released by 1.FC Köln, Sørensen joined Serie B club Pescara on a free transfer.[19]
