News from the transfer market

While preparations for the Volkswagen Cup are in full swing, there is also news from the transfer market. Josh Sargent, a player who is very popular at VfL, could soon join the team. The club has already reached an agreement for him, but the transfer fee of around 16 million euros with Norwich City is still pending. Another topic is Jonas Wind, whose contract runs until 2026 and who is also arousing the desires of other clubs without there being any concrete negotiations yet.

Another hot candidate on the market is Mohammed Amoura, whose transfer fee is around 40 million euros. Coach Paul Simonis would like to have Sargent in the squad quickly so that he can work with him as early as possible. At the same time, the club is looking for a right central defender, with Zakaria El Quahdi being considered the preferred candidate; here, too, there is a transfer fee of around 12 million euros. Moritz Jenz, on the other hand, has to look for a new club to make room for new impulses.

Volkswagen and FSV Zwickau

Particularly noteworthy is the close partnership between Volkswagen and FSV Zwickau, which has now been extended until the end of the 2027/28 season. Volkswagen relies on supporting traditional clubs at its German locations and talks about topics such as promoting young talent and social commitment. Gerd Voss, Head of Volkswagen Sports Communications, emphasizes this responsibility and emphasizes the importance of the tournament for the region.

The residents' festival surrounding the Volkswagen Cup, which takes place on July 20th, promises not only exciting games, but also an opportunity for families and fans to come together.
