There is a need for action on the transfer market: Bundesliga clubs with construction sites

Several Bundesliga clubs still have a need for action on the transfer market. Relaxies in Bremen are particularly urgent, but also in Leverkusen and Dortmund, movement is announced.

There could hardly have been a better symbol for the unfinished state of a team than this captain. After the Bundesliga game at Eintracht Frankfurt (1: 4), Marco Friedl asked himself the questions about the custody of Werder Bremen after the Bundesliga game at Eintracht Frankfurt with a bandage.

Stammtorwart Zetterer sold to Frankfurt, striker Marvin Ducksch (Birmingham City) to England, plus the supports Mitchell Weiser (cruciate ligament tear) and Jens Stage (foot problems) and newcomer Maximilian Wöber (thighs): whether the defense chief Friedl would not have extended his contract in the spring, the 27 -year -old. say. And also do not comment on whether further reinforcements are needed.

Bremen is not in the line -up first division -compatible

Each of the 59,500 eyewitnesses in the Frankfurt Waldstadion had seen it: in this line -up the Bremen are not suitable for Bundesliga. Not only are the Werder fans alarmed, but also ex-coaches such as the Florian Kohfeldt, who is currently working successfully at SV Darmstadt, are concerned about the green-whites, who have recently just missed the European Cup twice.

Friedl has the lack of competitiveness, which was already obvious in the cup bankruptcy against Arminia Bielefeld (0: 1), so formulated: “We have a small squad, we just have to stick together and get to our limit. And not over a few minutes or half, but over the entire duration. Otherwise it is not enough. No team in the league!”

Clemens Fritz defends himself against the accusation of inactivity

Good and good when the new trainer Horst Steffen is pleased about the debut of A-Juniors such as Patrice Covic and Karim Coulibaly: but the relegation will always be over youth promotion. Werder needs reinforcements in all parts of the team: We are looking for one, better two full -back, with Isaac Schmidt (Leeds United) and Elias Baum (Eintracht Frankfurt) already known. Open who should strengthen the defensive midfield and the storm.

Sports Managing Director Clemens Fritz defended himself against the accusation of inactivity at the weekend. “It is not the case that I had put on the lazy skin in the past three weeks and just watched what happened on the market.“A new player has to help sport and fit into the salary budget. The ex-professional does not want to let himself go: “We do not fall into actionism just because there is criticism from outside. It is important to stay calm and make the right decisions.”

Piero Hincapie could still take the departure

But Werder’s activities on the transfer market seem hesitant on the one hand, and on the other hand, little creative. There are probably only rental businesses in it, perspective transfers were missed in summer, although there would have been enough lead. For the Bremen, the home game against Bayer Leverkusen (Saturday 3:30 p.m.) is about preventing the complete false start. Otherwise, the calls on the Weser would be even louder after reinforcements by the end of the alternating period on September 1st.

The Werkelf also almost missed an announcement on the first match day. There, an XXL break has led to the fact that there is hardly a service provider from the Doubles season 2023/24. The sale of striker Victor Boniface burst to AC Milan, but defender Piero Hincapie could still go. His tears after the home defeat against TSG Hoffenheim (1-2) are considered an indication of a farewell performance under the Bayer Cross.

The 23-year-old is still bound by 2029 and is considered a central pillar in the defensive network. But it is quite possible that clubs from the Premier League are still approaching the Ecuadorian. With the replacement-the market value of Hincapie is 50 million euros-sports managing director Simon Rolfes could accelerate the realignment, but the task for coach Erik Ten Haag would not be easier to build a new team that plays around the Champions League places.

Reinforcement from Chelsea for BVB

Which is also the claim at Borussia Dortmund. Boss Hans-Joachim Watzke has given the clear order not to run 25 points behind FC Bayern again. Two points have them Black yellow at FC St. Pauli (3: 3) already playful. “It is not enough”stated sports director Sebastian Kehl, who, like Fritz, has already been reprimanded for his waiting for the transfer market. But now from London, twice the reinforcement is probably announced.

Midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka and central defender Aaron Anselmino are to come from Chelsea. Born in Austrians Chukwuemeka with English citizenship, a transfer fee is to be committed for 25 million euros, the Argentinian Anselmino is loaned.

In the pre -season, Chukwuemeka already played on a loan at the Westphalia, but came from the bank nine times in his ten Bundesliga games – the 21 -year -old promptly scored in his only starting fine at SC Freiburg (4: 1). In addition, the Portuguese attacker Fábio Silva from the Premier League Club Wolverhampton Wanderer is apparently the focus of BVB, which has so far been dependent on flashes of inspiration from his scorer Serhou Guirassy.

So far a clear plus for the Bundesliga

So far, the Bundesliga has spent around 674 million euros and has earned almost 840 million euros. An increase of around 165 million euros, which the five top leagues have so far only been exceeded by Ligue 1 from France.

The balance sheet can still change within a week. Especially when even larger deals in the Premier League pulls even larger deals in the hectic summer sale, this often triggers domino effects that spill down to Germany.
