Mikael Appelgren from the Rhein-Neckar Löwen was recently associated with a change within the handball Bundesliga to the THW Kiel. The Swedish goalkeeper now commented on the rumors.
“I read that too,” said Mikael Appelgren after the 33:28 away win at SG Flensburg-Handewitt on Sunday at the “Dyn” microphone.
However, the 35-year-old emphasized: “Of course, this is an honor that you are linked to such large clubs. That was the first time I heard of it. There is not much on it.”
When asked further, the international Sweden emphasized: “I still have a year contract.”
Last Wednesday, the “Sport Bild” Mikael Appelgren from the Rhein-Neckar Löwen at the THW Kiel brought talk.
Accordingly, both sides are open to a separation after the current season despite the contract. The sheet named 150,000 euros as a permanently anchored transfer.
THW Kiel “not active” on goalkeeper search
Viktor Szilagyi, Managing Director of THW Kiel, was already commenting on the rumors. “Just so much: We are currently not actively looking for another goalkeeper,” he clarified at “Handball World”.
Szilagyi did not want to completely rule out another goalkeeper obligation. “We observe the state of recovery and the forecast at Gonzalo and will consider whether a short-term commitment of a fourth goalkeeper for the duration of Gonzalo is necessary and at the same time it is economically sensible,” said the 46-year-old.
With Andreas Wolff and Gonzalo Perez de Vargas, the THW Kiel is actually two world -class for the coming season in goal. In addition, the 19 -year -old owner Leon Nowottny belongs to the squad.
However, the Spaniard, who comes from FC Barcelona, tore the cruciate ligament in February, and his debut for the handball Bundesliga clubs has moved far away.
Kiel’s current number two, Tomas MRKVA, joins the DHfK Leipzig in summer.
