In the clubs, the planning for the coming season is in full swing. All important news in the transfer ticker.
This year’s transfer summer has it all. This is because the clubs are allowed to sign players for the first time in two different periods. Due to the club World Cup, the first transfer window for the participating clubs was open from June 1st to June 10th. The regular transfer window then extends from July 1st to September 1st.
Noah Darvich will carry the VfB Stuttgart jersey in the future. The Swabians equipped the 18-year-old with a contract until 2029. Darvich comes from FC Barcelona to the DFB Cup winner. There he had changed from the youth department of SC Freiburg in 2023 at just 16 years. VfB sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth declared that it can be seen in Darvich “still clear development potential”.
According to “kicker”, VfB Stuttgart transfers less than one million euros for Darvich to Barcelona. This means that the transfer fee is significantly below the player’s market value (two million euros).
Darvich has already had some successes in his still young career. So he had led the German U17 national team in 2023 to both the World Cup and the European Championship title. In the same year he was awarded the Fritz Walter medal in silver. Most recently, he was on the lawn at the U19 European Championship, and was also born in the German captain’s armband at this tournament.
FC Fulham shows specific interest in Rocco Reitz from Borussia Mönchengladbach. The Pay TV broadcaster Sky reports that Fulham journalist Jack Kelly referred to. Accordingly, the central midfielder has already been scouted by the Premier League club several times-especially his appearances at the U21 European Championship.
Reitz, which is still bound to Gladbach by 2028, has several inquiries according to the report. However, the Bundesliga club wants to hold the 23-year-old. There should still be no direct contact between Fulham and Borussia.
Hertha BSC strengthens with a top talent from FC Bayern. The 19 -year -old Maurice Krattenmacher changes loan to the capital for a year, as the Berliners announced. The offensive player was most recently traveling with the German champion at the club World Cup in the USA. Krattenmacher was not used.
Krattenmacher knows the 2nd Bundesliga well: Last season, Bayern had awarded SSV Ulm to the courted talent that came from Unterhaching in 2024. There he was one of the top performers of the relegation with 33 competitive players (three goals, eight templates). Bayern did not escape this, who brought the German junior national player back from Ulm early after the end of the season. Now he should develop in Berlin.
