Lino Tempelmann stays in Braunschweig: contract signed until 2028!
Eintracht Braunschweig has agreed on a permanent contract with midfielder Lino Tempelmann from FC Schalke 04. The 26-year-old signed a contract until June 30, 2028. The two clubs have agreed not to disclose the exact transfer terms, but Schalke confirmed an agreement on a transfer fee and other possible payments. Borkener Zeitung reports that Tempelmann, who played a successful second half of the season, made a significant contribution to Braunschweig being able to stay in the league after a strong effort.
Tempelmann, who only moved from SC Freiburg to Schalke 04 in the summer of 2023, now sees his future in Braunschweig. Last season he scored an impressive seven goals and provided two assists in 18 appearances for the new club. His previous contract with Schalke would have only had one more year to run, which made the decision to move easier. The director of professional football at Schalke, Youri Mulder, said that Tempelmann has committed to the future in Braunschweig. Schalke 04 offered him a good environment in which he feels valued.
The development of the player
Lino Tempelmann's career is remarkable. After his time at SC Freiburg and a two-year loan at 1. FC Nürnberg, where he had already developed a solid base, he found his way to Schalke, where he scored one goal and contributed one assist in 28 games. His talent and performance also convinced those responsible in Braunschweig, who were now able to retain him on a long-term basis.
The current transfer period shows that transfer fees and financial conditions in football vary greatly. A look at international transfers makes it clear that only a few clubs are able to invest hundreds of millions. Statista has current data on the highest transfer fees, including the 222 million euros that Paris Saint-Germain paid for Neymar in 2017. While Bundesliga clubs such as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund also make high transfers, the Bundesliga's transfer deficit in the 2024/2025 season shows an interesting development compared to other European leagues.
With Tempelmann's return to a tightly knit club, he now seems to have taken a clear direction. Whether this decision will have a positive impact in the long term remains to be seen. One thing is certain, however: Lino Tempelmann has taken another step in his career with his decision and will continue to cause a sensation in Braunschweig. Football remains exciting and the coming months will show how the team develops and where the journey takes us.
