Transfer targets

An offer of $24.6M for Ferran Jutglà

Union Berlin have gone to Mainz 05 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.

Transfer targets

Fortuna Düsseldorf tell Union Berlin: Marcus Müller 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.

Eyes on Oliver Burke again

The phone has started ringing about Oliver Burke again, and this time the name on the line is Eintracht Braunschweig. Union Berlin are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match

3 matches without a goal for Union Berlin

Player ratings

Derrick Köhn beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout

No hiding place for Frederik Rønnow

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Frederik Rønnow, and the manager let it.

Market

Christoph Mayer steps up from the Union Berlin academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Christoph Mayer 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
