The Arminia Bielefeld Courier
Transfer targets1 Sep 2031
Arminia Bielefeld bid $8.7M for Phil Harres
The offer went to RB Leipzig this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

VfL Bochum watching Stefano Russo
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Arminia Bielefeld have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.
Boardroom1 Sep 2031
Arminia Bielefeld close the window on a squad of their own making
31 in and 21 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

The paperwork begins on Gvidas Gineitis
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Arminia Bielefeld have done the hard part with VfL Wolfsburg, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

No deal for Vincent Ocansey at that price
Arminia Bielefeld offered $980.0K; Hannover 96 said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.
Transfer targets1 Sep 2031
Arminia Bielefeld make their move for Jonas Krumrey
$370.0K on the table at Köln. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Stefano Russo 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 Arminia Bielefeld this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Whatever happens, Arminia Bielefeld do not lose
7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

A row about effort at Arminia Bielefeld
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Benjamin Boakye was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
In brief
- The dugout No hiding place for Stefano Russo
- Squad Home is on Facundo Cruz's mind
- Squad Stephan Lorenz stays put
