By opt-out clause
What has emerged in recent weeks seems to be fixed in the near future: regular goalkeeper Mark Flekken will leave SC Freiburg after the end of the Bundesliga season. “It looks very much like it,” confirmed sports director Klemens Hartenbach on Saturday shortly before the Breisgauer’s last league game at Eintracht Frankfurt to the TV channel “Sky”.

He doesn’t know “whether everything is already signed, but that’s the plan,” Hartenbach continued. The 29-year-old Dutchman is said to agree with FC Brentford from the Premier League. According to reports, an exit clause of 13 million euros is integrated into the contract of Freiburg’s number one – the SC only conceded more for five players in its club history.
Flekken moved from MSV Duisburg to the Black Forest in 2018 for a fee of EUR 2 million and has been between the Freiburg posts since the 2021/22 season. In total, he made 95 appearances in the SC shirt, conceding 121 goals and keeping 30 clean sheets. With the “Bees” he will have to compete with the Spaniard David Raya and the 22-time Albanian international Thomas Strakosha.

Coach Christian Streich had declared immediately before the season finale with a view to squad planning that the “Freiburg way” would continue on the transfer market in the summer. The successor to the outgoing Dutchman as number one in the Freiburg goal should be U21 national goalkeeper Noah Atubolu, as Hartenbach confirmed.
