updates: FCN and S04 reported completion on Thursday. Nuremberg’s sporting director Olaf Rebbe emphasized: “Florian was already in discussion with us before he switched to Schalke. We’re getting an ambitious defensive specialist who can be used in the sixth position, or in the double six, as well as in the central defender position with a view to the U21 European Championship next summer – it’s important to get as much match practice as possible.” On Wednesday “Sky” reporter Florian Plettenberg reports that a purchase option is not planned.

Weinzierl convinced Flick of Nuremberg – approval in the community

Nuremberg coach Markus Weinzierl is said to have convinced Flick of his perspective with the Franconians in a personal conversation. With a market value of 2 million euros, the U21 national player is Nuremberg’s most valuable professional alongside Lino Tempelmann (23). A transfer to the position had become necessary, among other things, because Taylan Duman (25) is out with a torn ligament. However, Flick should not remain the only transfer at FCN, which is plagued by injuries.

In the Schalke forum, the plan to temporarily give up Flick met with approval at the beginning of the week. “Makes perfect sense to me. I see potential in Flick. In order to be able to fully develop this, he has to play regularly. Accordingly, it brings him more when he plays in the 2nd division week after week than occasionally grabbing a few minutes from us,” wrote “Leonidas89”.
