Mads Bech Sørensen, born in Denmark on 7 January 1999 (age 27), is an imposing 6ft 4in (1.93m) central defender with FC Midtjylland. His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His early senior development included loan football, which gave him the sort of practical grounding defenders usually need before they look fully settled. There is only so much polish a centre-half gets from training pitches; actual matches tend to be less generous.
At Midtjylland, Sørensen has become more than just a large frame in the back line. His most productive league season came in 2023-24, when he scored four goals in 24 appearances, a useful return for a central defender.
In 2026-27, he has made 18 appearances in all competitions for Midtjylland, scoring two goals. That includes three Superliga appearances with one goal, as well as involvement in Europa League qualifiers, Conference League qualifiers and the Europa League proper.
Sørensen’s career is that of a Danish defender shaped by early senior minutes and now established at Midtjylland, where his size, experience and set-piece threat have made him a steady part of the squad.
