Cottbus firmly rejects Aachen's interest in star player Cigerci!
The rumor mill is churning, but Energie Cottbus remains calm: Tolcay Cigerci, who caused a sensation in the 3rd league last season with 15 goals and six assists, is apparently not an issue for Alemannia Aachen. The hit from last season, who helped Cottbus to promotion, will continue to stay at the Friendship Stadium. Liga3 online reports that FCE President Sebastian Lemke and squad planner Maniyel Nergiz categorically deny such intentions to change.
“The number is not an issue for us,” said Nergiz about the interest from Aichen, while Lemke emphasized that they had not yet received an offer or contacted Aachen. It is no secret that Alemannia Aachen has expressed great interest in the playmaker, but those responsible in Cottbus see no reason for a discussion. Cigerci's market value, estimated at 450,000 euros, is apparently a hurdle for the Aachen-based company that they cannot overcome.
A man for the offensive
The 30-year-old Cigerci has established himself as an important part of the Cottbus game this season. According to reports from Day24 The offensive player enjoys a high status not only in the team, but also among the fans. He is also a key figure if the team wants to continue to perform in the 3rd league. He often commutes between Berlin and Cottbus, where he is active in training sessions and has no thoughts of changing.
The connections between Cigerci and Aachen coach Benedetto Muzzicato, with whom he already worked successfully at Viktoria Berlin, could be an additional argument for a transfer. But there is currently nothing to suggest that Cottbus will be prepared to let him go in the near future.
The look forward
With a contract until 2027, Cottbus has control of Cigerci and could be able to negotiate a possible transfer fee in the future. But at the moment everyone involved seems to be interested in continuing the talented player and the successful collaboration.
Given the clear statements from Cottbus, it remains to be seen whether Alemannia Aachen will make a new attempt or whether they will have to look for alternatives. One thing is certain, however: Tolcay Cigerci wants to fully concentrate on the coming season and continue to show his performance on the pitch.
