Robin Gosens still fulfills his Bundesliga dream at Union Berlin. Apparently, two top clubs from the German upper house had also expressed an interest in the national player.
Union instead of Inter, Berlin instead of Milan. For the first time in his career, Robin Gosens competes in the Bundesliga. Several Bundesliga clubs had expressed interest in the left winger this summer. Above all, that of Union and VfL Wolfsburg became public. As the “kicker” reports, RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are said to have felt the professional in the past few months.
According to the report, Gosens was too expensive for Leipzig and Dortmund, who were looking for reinforcement across the board. The national player had a well-paid three-year contract with the Milanese.
What Arnautovic has to do with the Gosens change
In the past few weeks, Wolfsburg and Union in particular have intensified their courtship of the 29-year-old. Gosens actually wanted to assert himself at Inter.
The change of plan was then initiated by Marko Arnautovic. The Nerazzurri were desperate to get a new attacker and found him in the Austrian veteran. The money for this transfer should now be counter-financed by the departure of Gosens.
Wolfsburg had already switched internally and brought Joakim Maehle from Atalanta. Union took the opportunity and went “all in”.
According to “kicker”, everything was resolved within three days. The capital club pays 12 million transfer fee, possible three million euros in bonuses are added. Gosens signed a five-year contract with the Köpenickers last Tuesday.
The Emmericher continues to dream of participating in the home European Championship in 2024. National coach Hansi Flick can now “see him live in the stadium more often than was previously possible,” said Gosens in the “Sky” interview.
On Sunday, the new signing in the Bundesliga match between Union and Mainz (4:1) was initially on the bench and was substituted on for a good half hour.
