After the departure of Jonathan Burkardt (24), Mainz 05 approaches another striker transfer. William Bøving (22), top scorer at the Austrian Champion Sturm Graz, should be about to move to the Rheinhessen, such as “L’équipe“Reports. The topic is interesting for the French sports letter, since the Danish junior international was also associated with a switch to OGC Nice.

Instead, the talks with the Mainzers are already at an advanced stage. A basic amount of 4.5 million euros is in the room as a transfer. For Burkardt, who decided to move to Eintracht Frankfurt, the zero five collects 21 million euros. For newcomers Benedict Hollerbach (24) from Union Berlin, the FSV transfers 10 million euros.
The transfer for Bøving would be a decent bargain given the enormously increased market value of the former Copenhagener. In the course of the Bundesliga championship round, the Dane in Graz improved from EUR 3.5 million to 8 million euros-top value in the storm squad. However, the team from Styria is only under sales pressure with only one year, if you want to receive a transfer for your star.
Three years ago, more than 2 million euros were paid for the young professional to FC Copenhagen. Bøving paid back in 111 games with 21 goals and 17 templates. Of these, eleven goals and eight templates take place in the past Bundesliga season, which Bøving brought third place in the league scorer list. In the Austrian Oberhaus he is currently the most valuable professional who is not under contract with RB Salzburg.
Mainz presented four external newcomers in the previous transfer window, including young defender Konstantin Schopp (19), who also played at Sturm Graz. The expenses of the FSV of currently EUR 10.7 million are easily outbided by the EUR 23 million of Burkardt and the previously awarded striker Ludovic Ajorque (31). Small amounts also agreed the zero five for the transfer of the Australian full -back Kasey Bos (21) and for the loan of the Japanese midfielder Sota Kawasaki (23).
