The Bundesliga season is just over. But the clubs are already planning for the coming season. All important news in the transfer ticker.
This year’s transfer summer has it all. This is because the clubs are allowed to sign players for the first time in two different periods. Due to the club World Cup, the first transfer window for the participating clubs opens on June 1st and then closes again on June 10th. The regular transfer window then goes from July 1st to September 1st.
It has already been indicated immediately after the end of the season, now there is movement in the personnel around coach Christian Titz from 1. FC Magdeburg. The playing style of play with direct passing and pace has aroused desires at other clubs. So the 54-year-old could leave the second division team prematurely despite a contract until next summer.
“Christian has a contract, but if situations occur, you also have to talk,” said sports director Otmar Schork. Now comes the next stage: “He can imagine a change. He wants to check in the next few days. We will give him this time,” said Schork after a media round of “Bild” and added: “We will now switch off for a few days. Of course, it is clear that a final decision has to be made. But there is no date for it.”
The talks between Florian Wirtz and FC Bayern obviously get new swing. According to information from the British newspaper “The Times”, the German international wants to travel to Munich this week in order to exchange ideas with those responsible for the German record champions.
In this meeting, concrete ideas about a possible change and the further sporting perspective of the 22-year-old are to be discussed. In the area of FC Bayern there is optimism: the club assumes that Wirtz will either join the association in the upcoming transfer window or at the latest for the 2026 season. This assurance has already been signaled to the club.
In addition to the Munich team, Manchester City and FC Liverpool are also interested in Wirtz. According to “Kicker” information, Bayern expect a decision within the next ten days whether Wirtz will choose them or for Liverpool.
The Hannover 96 offensive receives reinforcements: Benjamin Källman will move to the Lower Saxony for the coming season. The 26 -year -old attacker comes from the Polish first division club KS Cracovia free of charge and receives a contract until 2028.
Källman braid in the past season with a strong balance. The Finnish international scored 18 goals in 33 competitive games and scored 8 more goals. Managing Director Marcus Mann from Hannover 96 praised the newcomer as “cold -navigated in front of the goal”. His distance shots are also dangerous. “To do this, he brings an extremely good athletic and is clear and ripe in his head,” said Mann.
