Second division relegated SSV Ulm officially announced two further departures on Whit Monday. The club has withdrawn a contract offer for defender Tom Gaal because the player had “passed the deadline for a decision several times”. Left -back Romario Rösch, however, rejected an offer from the SSV.

From now on, the defense duo will put its soccer shoes elsewhere, both of them were part of the sparrows in the past season. “We withdrawn the range of Tom Gaal after we agreed everywhere- and then there was no promise to our big surprise, but only there was a stop from the Gaal side. That was not an emotional, but an objective decision. On the one hand, because we need planning security in the squad and want to provide our trainer a good squad as soon as possible. Without a player or an alternative to this player.

Rösch will leave the club after three years and 97 competitive games (15 scorer points). The association also offered him an extension, but the professional had knocked it out. “We would like to thank Tom and Romario for their commitment in recent years and wish them all the best for their future,” said Thiele.
