In the clubs, the planning for the coming season is in full swing. All important news in the transfer ticker.
This year’s transfer summer has it all. This is because the clubs are allowed to sign players for the first time in two different periods. Due to the club World Cup, the first transfer window for the participating clubs was open from June 1st to June 10th. The regular transfer window then extends from July 1st to September 1st.
Now it could be very quick. The farewell to Jamie Gitten is increasingly taking on more concrete forms. As Sky reports, the winger could possibly even leave BVB during the club World Cup.
The 20-year-old has therefore chosen the English FC Chelsea as his personal transfer target favorite. According to the report, Gitten should even agree with the Premier League club by 2032. Chelsea has also been talking about the BVB for weeks.
Dortmund should expect a payment of 65 million euros including possible bonus payments. According to Sky, the two clubs in the replacement poker are now said to have approached decisively. The BVB does not want to move away from its financial demands. Dortmnd should be ready to release the player in the USA during the tournament. In the meantime, Gitten had also been traded at Bayern as a potential new addition.
FC St. Pauli continues to make his squad for the coming season and has hired midfielder Joel Chima Fujita. The 23-year-old Japanese comes from the Belgian first division club VV St. Truiden, as the Hamburg Bundesliga club announced on Friday.
“What inspires me, particularly enthusiastic about Joel, is his courage and his clarity in the game. He acts extremely active and has a good feeling for rooms. He catches balls and has a clean passing game,” said St. Pauli’s head coach Alexander Blessin.
Even more: Fujita is apparently the new record transfer of Hamburg. Because the Belgian transfer journalist Sacha Tavolieri reported on Friday evening: St. Pauli pays 3.5 million euros to St. Truiden – that would make Fujita the most expensive purchase in club history. In addition, a further two million euros can be due in the event of a new class.
The three-time Japanese international Fujita played 27 league games and six play-off relegation parties for St. Truids in Belgium in the past season.
First EM title, then a change of club? The conversations about a contract extension of Lukas Ullrich at Borussia Mönchengladbach are running – but an agreement is not in sight. The 21-year-old left-back has a new offer until 2029, but there is obviously even significant need for improvement in the salary. The “Bild” newspaper reports.
