Market value increase in Austria
With Jonathan Burkardt (22), Karim Onisiwo (30), Marcus Ingvartsen (26) and Delano Burgzorg (23), Mainz 05 has a broad base in attack. Fears that the playing time for loan returnee Marlon Mustapha (21) could be sparse for this reason turned out to be wrong in the first few weeks. A temporary departure to Eintracht Braunschweig is therefore off the table.

“It is clear that Mustapha is staying here. At the moment there is nothing in this transfer window. We don’t know what’s going to happen in winter, but it won’t leave us this summer,” emphasized sporting director Martin Schmidt (quoted via “League Insider”) in the “General Newspaper“. Another loan, like last year, to FC Admira Wacker Mödling, where the right-footed player scored seven goals and six assists in 28 games and increased his market value from 300,000 to one million euros, no longer seems necessary.
Mainz top goalscorers in the Bundesliga by season
After five minutes of the Bundesliga opener at VfL Bochum (2-1), Mustapha was allowed a quarter of an hour to play against Union Berlin (0-0) on Sunday – longer than Burgzorg’s 2-million buy-in, who only came on in the 85th minute. According to coach Bo Svensson “no coincidence” and Schmidt also explained: “He helps us and was also the first substitute on the offensive. That is also a sign. This improves his position in attack.”
