Kickers Offenbach cancels Jan Dahlke's transfer and is urgently looking for new strikers for the coming regional league season.
OFV cancels move to Dahlke – finding a striker becomes a hanging game!
Things were really bubbling up at Kickers Offenbach during the transfer period. The regional league team had its eye on striker Jan Dahlke, who attracted attention for Hessen Kassel in the last second half of the season. The great attacker scored an impressive twelve goals in twelve games and made the hearts of fans and officials beat faster. But Dahlke took his time with his decision, and soon the wind came from the wrong direction. Sport managing director Christian Hock finally had to announce his withdrawal: “I turned him down,” he explained after Dahlke let several deadlines pass. The OFC is now looking for another attacker to improve the striker position. Hessenschau reports that the new season starts next week.
What's behind Dahlke's long decision? There is speculation that he was possibly waiting for offers from higher-class clubs, which is why the OFC didn't want to be fooled any longer. After all, Offenbach still has two or three squad positions, including a center forward, that need to be filled. However, the search for them is extremely difficult, which Hock also emphasizes: “The market for good attackers is competitive.”
The challenge of finding a striker
The focus is now on a robust and agile striker, as the training paths for strikers and wall strikers have become narrower in recent years. Hock knows the problems all too well. Two years ago he faced similar challenges when planning his squad. A good example of the situation is the case of Phil Harres, who after scoring 24 goals in the regional league is now playing for Holstein Kiel - it can happen that quickly! OP-Online reports on the challenges of finding suitable strikers.
- Jan Dahlke bleibt Transferziel Nummer eins, ist jedoch auch bei Drittligisten sehr begehrt.
- Ted Tattermusch (1,94 m) ist ein weiterer Kandidat, der zuletzt für Carl Zeiss Jena spielte und 12 Tore in 26 Spielen erzielte.
- Justin Steinkötter wird derzeit von 1860 München umworben und könnte ebenfalls den OFC verlassen.
In this late phase of the transfer period, the OFC must now make the right decisions quickly, because the new season is starting in just a few days. Almin Mesanovic's personality is also causing a stir as he is heading to SC Verl after four years at Kickers Offenbach. In the coming season, his contribution in 63 games in the regional league will not be forgotten, and Jan Urbich and Matija Damjanovic have also changed their perspectives. The situation remains exciting!
