The long -time captain is considering a change because Bayer has signed a new regular goalkeeper in Mark Flekken. “But it is also clear: we can only let him go if we find a suitable replacement beforehand. He knows that and we try to find a good solution for him,” Rolfes confirmed. According to media reports, the Finn should already agree with Monaco.
He himself had already confirmed it indirectly, now the step is officially: ex-international Marcel Halstenberg joins his home club Germania Grasdorf, who plays in the district league. The defender ended his professional career at Hannover 96 in the summer, but then said that he would like to continue playing.
The nine-time international and EM participant (2021) Halstenberg played as a child in Grasdorf before switching to Hannover 96. Via the Lower Saxony, BVB and St. Pauli, he went into professional football, where he completed around 400 competitive games for RB Leipzig, St. Pauli, Hannover 96 and the DFB.
Marvin Ducksch from Werder Bremen is apparently immediately facing England. The former German international (two caps 2023) is expected to appear for Birmingham City in the coming season.
As the “kicker” and the “picture” report, Ducksch has already said goodbye to his teammates. In Birmingham, the 31-year-old should sign a contract for three years. The transfer fee is said to be around two million euros, additional bonus payments are possible.
