Market7 Sep 2026

Niklas Beste asks to leave SC Freiburg

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Heidenheim tell SC Freiburg: Julian Niehues is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Window shuts: 17 in, 3 out at SC Freiburg

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 17 arrived, 3 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Market7 Sep 2026

Kevin Schade wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at SC Freiburg hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad7 Sep 2026

David Schopper out for 43 days

The medical room confirms 43 days on the sidelines for David Schopper, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Mio Backhaus is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Mio Backhaus has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Squad7 Sep 2026

SC Freiburg have started building around Tim Lemperle

He used to be one of the options. He is now one of the men the options are picked around, and the change happened quietly enough that only the dressing room noticed on the day.

Looking ahead7 Sep 2026

Igor Matanović faces his old club

St. Pauli next, and one man in the SC Freiburg dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Looking ahead7 Sep 2026

SC Freiburg travel to St. Pauli

Next up on the road: St. Pauli, position 15. The supporters who go will talk about it all week and the ones who do not will check their phones at ten to five.

Match29 Aug 2026

Yuito Suzuki leads the rout of Werder Bremen

3‑0, and Yuito Suzuki took the headlines on an afternoon when everything SC Freiburg tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Door shut on Marco Carnesecchi

SC Freiburg asked and Atalanta said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market31 Aug 2026

Daniel-Kofi Kyereh moves on

Köln pay $5.0M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Vintage Vincenzo Grifo — 8.26

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.26, and nobody on the pitch better.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

No deal for Julian Niehues at that price

SC Freiburg offered $2.6M; Heidenheim said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Market31 Aug 2026

David Schopper hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what SC Freiburg can pretend not to have heard.

Match29 Aug 2026

SC Freiburg settle it inside twenty minutes

2 goals before the ground had finished arriving. Werder Bremen spent the rest of the afternoon playing a match that had already been decided, and everybody in the stadium knew it.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

One of those days for Yuito Suzuki

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.45, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Maximilian Eggestein in the eights

A performance of 8.21 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
