It is important for Finkgräfe that he will receive a lot of game practice with his new employer. He was used irregularly this season. Only 16 games are available in 2024/25, of which only nine from the start. Even in the future, the German U20 international at Effzeh no longer plays a role. It is said to have been informed that his contract that ended in 2026 would not be extended. A sale will be sought to avoid a transfer -free change in one year. The second division club hopes for a transfer of around 3 million euros – a sum below the market value of EUR 4 million.
Finkgräfe has been playing for the Cologne professionals since 2023, for whom he has come to 40 games (one goal) to date. At VfB, national player Maximilian Mittelstädt is set on the left defense, and in this position Ramon Hendriks belongs to the squad, which is also used in central defense. Finkgräfe could be another alternative, especially if VfB was to qualify for the Europa League via a cup victory.
