Darmstadt 98 is bringing left-back Leon Klassen back to Germany!
The football scene in southern Hesse has an exciting new addition to report: SV Darmstadt 98 has signed the talented left-back Leon Klassen. He is moving back to Germany from the Danish club Lyngby Boldklub and will strengthen the left side of defense next season. Although the transfer fee for the 25-year-old player has not been announced, the joy about his move to the Merck Stadium is clearly noticeable. Class's contract with Darmstadt also remains under wraps for the time being, but his motivation to play for a traditional club like the Lilies speaks volumes. Hessenschau reports.
Classes, who began his professional career at TSV 1860 Munich and trained at 1. FC Köln, are very pleased about returning to Germany and the opportunity to attack in the second division with Darmstadt 98. “I’m happy to be able to play in the second division with a traditional club like Darmstadt 98,” said Klassen. During his time in Denmark until the summer of 2026, he not only developed athletically but also personally. Darmstadt's sporting director, Paul Fernie, praises him for his technical skills and commitment and emphasizes that Klassen has matured into a rising star in the Danish Superliga. Transfermarkt supplements this information.
Competition and expectations
With Klassen's signing, Darmstadt 98 not only gained a new player, but also increased the competition for the place on the left side of defense. Classes will have to assert themselves against captain Fabian Holland and Fabian Nürnberger, which should provide additional excitement in training. Guille Bueno, who played for the Lilies on loan last season, is not expected to return, which could give Klassen a clearer path. The anticipation of the new challenges is palpable, and Klassen emphasizes the importance of quickly integrating into the team: “The entire preparation will be crucial.”
In total, Klassen is the third new signing for SV Darmstadt 98 this summer, having previously signed goalkeeper Benedikt Börner and Japanese player Yosuke Furukawa. Fans and those responsible are excited to see how these new additions will present themselves next season. Kicker provides an overview of further transfer activities.
