Kaiserslautern shortly before a transfer coup: Sahin and Mehlem on the approach!
A new wind is blowing at 1. FC Kaiserslautern: Semih Sahin is about to move from SV Elversberg to the Red Devils. Only the medical check, which is scheduled to take place on Monday, stands between the player and his new challenge. The transfer is estimated at around 1.5 million euros, which is proving to be a real gold mine for SV Elversberg. Last year the club was able to achieve the same amount for Jannik Rochelt when the striker moved to Hannover 96, reports Transfermarkt.
In his four-year career at Elversberg, Sahin played a key role in the team's promotion from the regional league to the 2nd Bundesliga. The talented midfielder was a reliable option for coach Horst Steffen and only missed a few appearances due to injuries or suspensions. His new challenges in Kaiserslautern will be eagerly awaited as he is seen as the successor to Filip Kaloc, who moved to Ludogorets in Bulgaria, reports 90min.
Reinforcements from England's second division
But not only Sahin could soon appear in the red colors of Kaiserslautern. Marvin Mehlem is also considered a potential newcomer. The attacking midfielder still has one year left on his contract with Hull City, while he was most recently active at SC Paderborn. There he scored an impressive four goals and two assists in 16 appearances in the second half of the season. His move could also see him meet his former coach Torsten Lieberknecht, which would certainly excite the fans. Mehlem also cost 1.5 million euros when he moved to England, as the article on Transfermarkt explains.
The Kaiserslautern team continues to strengthen itself on the transfer market. In addition to Sahin and possible Mehlem, Mahir Emreli from Nuremberg and Ivan Prtajin from Union Berlin also come, which significantly rejuvenates the team. Last season, FCK finished the season in 7th place and is now considered one of the contenders for promotion to the Bundesliga. Despite the high expenditure of 3.69 million euros, the club has so far only earned 300,000 euros, which makes the urgency of a successful transfer all the greater, as can be seen on Transfermarkt.
The 2024/25 season could be a very decisive one for 1. FC Kaiserslautern, as they want to assert themselves not only through transfers, but also through a courageous approach to the game in the coming season. Will the new arrivals bring the hoped-for upswing? The fans can be excited!
