On Sunday, the 1st FC Nürnberg announced the departure from Jens Castrop to Gladbach in the summer. Now the next change of a talented top performer follows.
When the 1st FC Nürnberg led Stefanos Tzimas from Greece in summer with a purchase option over 18 million euros, the Franks were smiled at in many places. 18 million euros for a second division striker? Why? Just half a year later, the purchase option is hardly smiled at.
Because Stefanos Tzimas will switch to the Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion for 25 million euros in summer. The deal became official on Monday, but the participants were silent about the transfer modalities. The “Seagulls”, which is also called Brighton, have been associated with the 19 -year -old striker for several weeks. Liverpool is also said to have been interested in Tzimas. From the coming summer, the striker will run in blue and white.
The Greek stays in Nuremberg until summer. According to the “picture”, however, there are not seven million euros in the difference, which could be thought of due to the purchase option (18 million) and the transfer fee (25 million), but “only” 2.5 million euros, which would still be a strong business . 25 million euros transfer would also be a record transfer for the “club”. And for Tzimas himself, a dream comes true, at least he described the Premier League as his big goal.
Tzimas scored 10 goals in 17 second division games and prepared two more. When it comes to Nuremberg, there are still some.
According to the “picture”, the second division is also said to have a resale participation for the talented striker. Around 15 percent of the transfer fee that Brighton would receive from a future transfer for Tzimas would receive Nuremberg.
