RB talent to Augsburg or Cologne?
Tom Krauss will leave 1. FC Nürnberg after two years on loan, but may not return to regular club RB Leipzig. The 20-year-old defensive midfielder could still continue in the Bundesliga. The club confirmed on Wednesday that FCN is definitely over. Likewise, Dennis Borkowski’s (20, also Leipzig) loan contract and Noel Knothe’s (22) contract, which has been running since 2020, will not be extended. On the other hand, Freiburg’s midfield loan Lino Tempelmann (23) will remain.
“Tom’s loan was a success for everyone involved,” explained Nuremberg’s sporting director Dieter Hecking. “And it’s no secret that we would have liked to keep him.” According to a “Bild” report on Monday, FC Augsburg is the “hottest candidate” for Krauss’ next stop. Rumors also recently emerged about 1. FC Köln. His contract in Leipzig is valid until 2025. He himself had only emphasized on Sunday in the Bavarian Radio program “Blickpunkt Sport” that he would be able to make a decision about his next step in two or three weeks.

Instead, the club can continue to rely on midfield regular Tempelmann. According to the club, the loan contract with SC Freiburg has been extended by another season. Saying goodbye to Borkowski and Knothe, Hecking said: “Both Dennis and Noel have always put themselves at the service of the team. I would be happy for them if they take another development step.”

Selling a model for RB Leipzig with a return clause from loan player Krauß?
Junior national player Krauss has meanwhile increased his market value in Nuremberg from 300,000 euros before the 2020/21 season to 4 million euros now. Last year, the “Bild” already speculated that Leipzig could fall back on the buyback clause model. Krauss would then initially be transferred on a firm basis, but could be brought back for a sum to be determined in the coming years.

“I think it’s impossible that he won’t play in the Bundesliga next season,” said market value admin Konstantin Haas (XAAC1609) after the second division update last fall, when Krauss already brought in his 4 million value. At FCN he now has a total of 63 appearances with five goals and five assists.
