Lucas Hermes moves to Jahn Regensburg – new hope for the club!

The transfer rumors and changes in football are gaining momentum, and especially this one FC Bayern Munich is the focus. On June 13, the club announced that it expressed interest in Takefusa Kubo from Real Sociedad. An initial offer of 35 million euros is on the table, while Kubo has a contract until 2029, which includes an exit clause of 60 million euros. This could be a strategic move to fill the gap left by Leroy Sané, whose contract is about to expire.

But it's not just on Säbener Strasse that there are busy discussions and negotiations. The SSV Jahn Regensburg today signed Lucas Hermes, a 25-year-old striker who has signed until June 30, 2027. Hermes had 13 goals and 8 assists in 34 appearances for FSV Frankfurt last season. A good catch to strengthen Regensburg's offensive. There were also the commitments of Dustin Forkel, Phil Beckhoff and Davis Asante, all of whom signed their contracts until 2027.

Fight to stay in the league

Meanwhile, the people of Regensburg have other worries. After a 0-1 defeat against 1. FC Nürnberg, the team slipped to last place in the table. Striker Andreas Albers, a key player in the team, spoke in an interview about the emotional burden that the current situation brings. “It’s not always easy to find positive thoughts in difficult times,” he admits. Albers, who has been with SSV since 2019 and is the record goalscorer in the 2nd Bundesliga, emphasizes the importance of sticking together as a team and also supporting younger players.

"Our support for the fans in these difficult times is essential. Staying positive in training and showing enthusiasm for the game - that's essential," he adds. Albers has set himself the personal goal of scoring at least ten goals this season, with the team community taking precedence over personal success.

Transfer market in transition

As always, the transfer market is on the move, not just in Germany but worldwide. In the Bundesliga Expenses have exceeded revenues in the current season, indicating a difficult financial climate. Bayern Munich leads the list of transfer spending with 149 million euros and has signed, among others, Michael Olise from Olympique Marseille. An international comparison shows that clubs like Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are ahead when it comes to record transfers.

Transfer windows are not just a window for buying and selling; they are also crucial for the strategic direction of the clubs. A good knack for transfers is essential in order to survive in the tough competition. It remains to be seen whether Regensburg's season composition will provide the decisive impetus for staying in the league. One thing is certain: the fans are hoping for a turnaround in the current misery and for numerous exciting games in the coming season.
