The SC Freiburg Chronicle
Market6 Sep 2027
SC Freiburg turn down Borussia Mönchengladbach for Noah Atubolu
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Robin Hack 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.
Boardroom6 Sep 2027
Deadline passes with 12 signed and 16 gone
That is the business done at SC Freiburg until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Noahkai Banks 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.

RB Leipzig tell SC Freiburg: Samu Aghehowa 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.
The dugout6 Sep 2027
The manager makes an example of Lucas Höler
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Michael Lang signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Michael Lang commits to SC Freiburg for another 4 years.

Too much change too quickly at SC Freiburg
10 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

A step back for Lukas Kübler at SC Freiburg
Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.
