Rental with obligation to buy
“Our shop is closed, we don’t let anyone look in. We don’t pick up the phone anymore. Nothing more should happen,” announced Mainz sports director Martin Schmidt at the start of Deadline Day. But something happened shortly before the end of the transfer. Angelo Fulgini is leaving the “zero fives” after just six months and moving back to Ligue 1 with RC Lens – initially on loan until the end of the season.
The attacking midfielder came to Mainz from Angers SCO in the summer for 6 million euros and played 18 games for FSV, in which he contributed two assists. However, Fulgini was unable to secure a regular place under coach Bo Svensson.

“Angelo only came to us in the summer, but has played less than he had hoped. He approached us with the desire to move to RC Lens – Angelo grew up in the region, he has a chance of a Champions League with France, who are second in the table, and the economic conditions are right for us. We wish him all the best and every success in Lens,” said sporting director Christian Heidel.
Good luck Angelo!
