Cigerci move to Aachen? Energie Cottbus gives a clear answer!
The transfer rumors surrounding Tolcay Cigerci from Energie Cottbus are causing a stir in the football world. The 30-year-old playmaker is reportedly on Alemannia Aachen's wish list, even if interest has so far been stirred up in silence. Erdal Celik, TSV's squad planner, has confirmed interest in Cigerci, but there has been no official request from Aachen, as liga3-online.de reports.
Claus-Dieter Wollitz, the coach of Energie Cottbus, has made it clear that there has been no contact from Aachen so far. “There was no call,” said Wollitz. The team seems to still be focused on other signings and leaves no room for speculation about Cigerci. He has a contract until 2027 without an exit clause and, according to Wollitz, is simply too expensive for a promoted team after he scored 15 goals and seven assists last season.
The situation in Cottbus
Although rumors of a move to Aachen are doing the rounds, Cigerci apparently remains with Energie Cottbus in mind. He often commutes between Berlin and Cottbus, shows no signs of thinking about changing in training and enjoys a high status in the club, as tag24.de emphasizes. Cicerci is aware of his importance and surprised last season as one of the top scorers in the 3rd division. Working with Aachen's coach Benedetto Muzzicato at Viktoria Berlin could also be important for the player, although there are no signs of an agreement so far.
On the Cottbus side there was also a clear statement on the subject of Cigerci: “The number is not an issue for us,” says squad planner Maniyel Nergiz. In addition, the President of the FCE, Sebastian Lemke, explained that so far there has been neither an offer nor any contact from Aachen. Given Cigerci's contract situation, a move seems unlikely.
Problems in the Cottbus squad
While the situation surrounding Cigerci is getting worse, the Energie Cottbus team is currently facing further challenges. There are concerns about Can Moustafa, who injured his ankle during a friendly against Greifswalder FC. Whether and for how long he will be out remains uncertain. In addition, Moritz Hannemann, who is struggling with an adductor injury, and Timmy Thiele, who is in rehab after knee surgery, are not among the players who are fit to play. This would make Moustafa the second loss after Lukas Michelbrink, which makes the situation even more difficult for Coach Wollitz.
Decisions on trial players such as Leon Guwara, Justin Butler and Dennis Duah will also be made in the coming days. According to Wollitz, Justin Butler has the best chance of being signed, while Guwara is unlikely to be included in the team.
It remains to be seen whether the rumors surrounding Tolcay Cigerci are more than just a storm in a teacup and what steps Alemannia Aachen will take in the coming days. The situation remains exciting and is being followed closely by many fans, while fussballtransfers.com continues to monitor the situation.
