The winter transfer phase is underway and the German clubs are in the middle of it. Rumors and fixed changes from the world of football can be found here.
With the beginning of 2025, the transfer window in the Bundesliga and other European leagues will also open. In Germany the transfer period ends on February 3rd. After that, players can still move abroad, provided the leagues there have a later transfer deadline.
Which clubs are most in need of reinforcements, what is FC Bayern doing and what is the situation at the top European clubs? These and many other questions will be answered this transfer winter. At t-online you can find an overview of the most important rumors and changes from Germany and the world.
According to a report in Bild, the English second division club Leeds United is said to be interested in signing Gladbach’s Nico Elvedi. Accordingly, the championship table leader is offering twelve million euros for an immediate transfer of the Swiss national player. Elvedi is under contract with Mönchengladbach until 2027. However, an exit clause should be anchored in his contract.
Exciting: Beverage company Red Bull, where Jürgen Klopp has been Head of Global Soccers since the beginning of the year, holds a minority stake in Leeds United.
If the Elvedi deal goes through, a successor would already be ready, according to the report. Kevin Diks from FC Copenhagen has attracted interest from Borussia. The 28-year-old native of the Netherlands has Champions League experience (17 appearances).
With twelve goals after 17 games, Budu Zividadze leads the top scorer list in the 2nd Bundesliga. The Karlsruher SC striker’s top performances have not gone unnoticed by the first division clubs. As the TV station Geo Team from Zividadze’s home country of Georgia reports, the attacker is about to move to 1. FC Heidenheim.
He had recently avoided a clear commitment to the KSC. “I have a contract until the summer, I want to stay until then to help the team,” the 30-year-old said in mid-December. But then he restricted it: “After that, anything is possible, but that’s the case in winter too. In football you never know.” Due to the contract expiring after the season, a winter transfer would be the last opportunity for Karlsruhe to collect a transfer fee.
Felix Magath was supposed to come, but canceled. Now the Unterhaching game association has announced a new coach. Read here which ex-Bundesliga coach is taking over the third division team.
SSV Jahn Regensburg wants to avoid relegation from the 2nd league and is heavily upgrading its personnel. So Sargis Adamyan returns. The 31-year-old striker is moving on loan from league leaders 1. FC Köln to the bottom of the 2nd Bundesliga.
The Armenian played for Jahn from 2017 to 2019 and played 66 second division games.
In addition to Adamyan, Tim Handwerker also joins the Regensburg team. The 26-year-old left-back comes permanently from 1. FC Nürnberg, where he has not played so far this season due to a torn cruciate ligament.
The third newcomer also comes from a league competitor. The Finnish midfielder Anssi Suhonen is on loan from HSV until the end of the season.
According to media reports, FC Bayern immediately re-lents its U21 national player Frans Krätzig after his end at VfB Stuttgart. According to the pay channel Sky and the “Bild” newspaper, the 21-year-old defender will play for 1. FC Heidenheim for the rest of the season.
