The SC Freiburg Chronicle
Market6 Sep 2027
Philipp Treu 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.
Market6 Sep 2027
The Holstein Kiel deal is off
Everything was agreed until it was not, and Igor Matanović reports back to SC Freiburg with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.
Boardroom6 Sep 2027
SC Freiburg write off $220.3K on Christoph Wiener-Pucher
He arrived for a fee and leaves for a fraction of it. $220.3K of what SC Freiburg paid for Christoph Wiener-Pucher is money the club will not see again, and the boardroom will be asked about it for two seasons.
Transfer targets6 Sep 2027
SC Freiburg baulk at the price for Marco John
Greuther Fürth wanted more than $3.1M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.
Boardroom6 Sep 2027
Window shuts: 10 in, 11 out at SC Freiburg
The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 10 arrived, 11 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.
Boardroom6 Sep 2027
SC Freiburg go back to the board over Marco John
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $3.2M — a club that wants Marco John enough to be asked twice.
Market6 Sep 2027
Finn Jeltsch wants more than SC Freiburg are offering
“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.
Market6 Sep 2027
Still no ink between SC Freiburg and Yuito Suzuki
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at SC Freiburg, another week without a signature from Yuito Suzuki.
Squad6 Sep 2027
Moussa Sylla wants to go home
“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at SC Freiburg can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.
In brief
- Squad Patrick Wagner stays put
- Squad Derry Scherhant is no longer first choice
- Squad A falling-out at SC Freiburg
