A change for national player Jamie Leweling in the winter is apparently off the table at VfB Stuttgart. “The classic phrase is: ‘I don’t want to leave, I want to stay here.’ That’s also true. We have plans here as a team. Me too. It’s nice to get offers, but I feel comfortable here,” said Leweling on the TV channel Sky after the 4-1 win in the Bundesliga at Bayer Leverkusen.
Sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth also confirmed that Leweling would definitely finish the season at VfB. AFC Bournemouth are said to have shown interest in the offensive player as a replacement for Antoine Semenyo, who moved to Manchester City for almost 72 million euros. The English are said to have already offered 40 million euros for Leweling. “We don’t want to reassess every eventuality in public every week. We’re glad we have him,” added Wohlgemuth.
FC Bayern is apparently planning to sign a promising young talent in the summer. The focus is on 16-year-old Kennet Eichhorn from Hertha BSC. This is what Sky reports. The U17 national player is under contract in Berlin until 2029. However, he has an exit clause that should allow him to move for a sum of between ten and twelve million euros.
Second division team SC Paderborn and third division team Waldhof Mannheim have apparently put the change confusion surrounding striker Kennedy Okpala to rest. The Paderborn team announced on Saturday that they had found “an amicable solution” with the Mannheim team and had “signed a transfer contract for Kennedy Okpala’s move.”
