The center forward’s contract in Bochum runs until June 2023. Most recently, “kicker” had reported that several unnamed clubs were interested in Polter. At Eintracht, who had already signed Randal Kolo Muani on a free transfer from FC Nantes for the storm centre, the ex-Berliner would primarily be seen as an investment in the breadth of the squad. “Maybe we will have talks after the season, maybe not. It has always been important to me on my wards to speak openly and honestly with each other,” Polter recently said in the “WAZ‘ interview, looking ahead to his future. He feels fit and also comfortable in the Ruhrpott city. Nevertheless, he is aware that “contracts are not always fulfilled” in the fast-paced football business.
With a record of eleven goals from 36 games, Polter had completed his first season as a top scorer in the Reis-Elf after the free transfer from Fortuna Sittard. Apart from Jürgen Locadilla and the recovered Simon Zoller, the right-footed player would also face further competition at VfL in the coming season: in addition to Silvère Ganvoula, who has returned on loan, Bochum has signed Philipp Hofmann, one of the top scorers in the 2nd Bundesliga, for the storm.
