Contract drama led by Cottbus talent Linus Güther: Who is right?

A hot topic is currently moving the football world: the debate about the transfer business of the 15-year-old young talent Linus Güther. The player, who recently switched from Energie Cottbus to Union Berlin, causes a stir. As reported [TAG24] (https://www.tag24.de/sport/fussball/verein/energie-cottbus/fetter-sztzoff-um-deutsches-juwel- 3399130), Cottbus has threatened serious legal steps. The reason for this is the view of the association not to accept the change of contract and to emphasize the validity of the existing contract.

Linus Güther, offered on April 8, 2010, has already caused a stir in his short career. When left-wing talent, which was able to score three goals in his two games for the German U15 national team in his two games, he was in great demand. In addition to Union Berlin, large clubs such as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund also have an eye on the young kicker. Güther signed a contract with Union on May 30th, but his parents no longer want to recognize the previous contract with Energie Cottbus, which is running until 2028.

dispute over the contract

The conflict between the two clubs is primarily about the formalities of the change of contract. While Cottbus refers to the legitimate contract signed with the parents, Güther himself is missing. This could complicate the entire transfer, after all, Güther has not yet been registered with the Brandenburg Football Association. In addition, special regulations apply: In the change of junior football, club changes are only possible between June 1st and 30th, whereby the consent of the emitting association is necessary if the player is older than the lowest age groups, as explained by 1x1sport.

Energie Cottbus sees itself in the clear conviction that your contract is legally valid, while Gushher's move to Union Berlin could be legally controversial by the already signed contract. President Sebastian Lemke has repeatedly emphasized that the Cottbus contract has meaning and the legal situation behind it is complex. The parents of Güther could further heat the entire event through their decision to no longer recognize the Cottbus contract.

The prominent offspring and his prospects

With the change from Linus Güther, the young generation of football continues to become the focus of the public. As a player who has recently moved into the spotlight, he is considered a great talent for the future. His skills on the pitch and the negotiating skills of the clubs could shape his career enormously.

until everything has been clarified, Güther will probably enjoy his time at Union Berlin - he has been officially in the team since July 1, 2025, and his contract runs until June 30, 2028. Young football is flanked by exciting developments, and the conditions for the change of club in Germany show that many stone is still being turned in this exciting time for young talents.
