Interested parties must therefore contact Mainz by December 31 if they want to get in touch with the player. “That’s right,” says Heidel, but adds: “In terms of regulations, yes, but no one is sticking to it anymore.” Mainz still has an option to extend it until June 2025 Have time. But I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t pull them,” said the 59-year-old.
Even if the contract is extended, staying is by no means guaranteed – “Sky” wrote of a transfer fee of 15 million euros. Heidel did not want to comment on this sum, but said: “For Mainz 05 no player is unsellable. In such a case, you have to weigh the economic against the sporty.
