Transfer targets

Fabio Chiarodia will not be coming to Kaiserslautern

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Borussia Mönchengladbach is saying, and nobody at Kaiserslautern is enjoying the guessing.

Transfer targets

Kaiserslautern rebuffed over Leonardo Campana

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. New England Revolution have kept their man, and Kaiserslautern go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Transfer targets

Kaiserslautern make their move for Bartosz Białek

$560.0K on the table at Darmstadt 98. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Boardroom

Kaiserslautern go back to the board over Bartosz Białek

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $618.8K — a club that wants Bartosz Białek enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Jacob Rasmussen signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jacob Rasmussen and Kaiserslautern agree another 4 years.

Squad

Words at Kaiserslautern training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mërgim Berisha 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.

Market

Ralph Winkler steps up from the Kaiserslautern academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ralph Winkler has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Marcel Hartmann joins the Kaiserslautern first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Marcel Hartmann is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Marco Friedrich steps up from the Kaiserslautern academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Marco Friedrich has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
