Veracruz tell SC Freiburg: Santiago Romo 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.

SC Freiburg say no — this time
The offer from Köln for Anthony Jung was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Jannik Huth 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.

Mio Backhaus in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at SC Freiburg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Florian Wolf stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Florian Wolf and SC Freiburg agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Words at SC Freiburg training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Karl Steinmann is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Maximilian Eggestein goes back to face Werder Bremen
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Maximilian Eggestein’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and SC Freiburg needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Amourricho van Axel Dongen still has not settled
A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at SC Freiburg would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.
