An offer of $7.1M for Isac Lidberg
Magdeburg have gone to Darmstadt 98 with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

The paperwork begins on Friedrich Müller
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Magdeburg have done the hard part with Dynamo Dresden, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Köln come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Magdeburg did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Mateusz Żukowski stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Mateusz Żukowski and Magdeburg agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Magdeburg promote Marco Hoffmann from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Marco Hoffmann has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Felix Martin steps up from the Magdeburg academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Felix Martin 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.
