1. FC Nürnberg are interested in signing Zoltan Stieber from Hamburger SV. “Stieber is definitely a candidate for us because his playing style is very close to our requirement profile, but he’s not the only one on our list. Basically, the trend is currently towards the loan business,” said Nuremberg’s sports director Andreas Bornemann of the “Bild” newspaper. The former Fürther Stieber is a candidate for the successor to Alessandro Schöpf in Franconia. The “Club” had recently sold its playmaker to FC Schalke. The 27-year-old Stieber no longer plays a role in the Bundesliga club HSV.
