Mainz updates: Burgzorg's loan-out confirmed, FSV to buy back Mwene

FSV Mainz 05 attacker Delano Burgzorg's loan-out to EFL side Huddersfield town has been confirmed.

In other Mainz-related transfer news, Germany's Kicker Magazine reports that the Rheinhessen are preparing to bring back a familiar face to help shore up the left-back position. 
The rumored loan-out of Dutch attacker Delano Burgzorg from FSV Mainz 05 to Huddersfield Town is through. The EFL Championship side unveiled the 24-year-old as a new player on Thursday evening. At this point, it is not known whether or not the season-long loan-deal contains a purchase option. Burgzorg remains under contract with Mainz through the end of the 2024/25 campaign.

Germany's Kicker Magazine reports that Mainz, after confirming Burgzorg's departure, should have a new addition to unveil soon. The Rheinhessen notoriously risked entering the season without a direct back-up for left-back Anthony Caci. Kicker reports that Austrian fullback Philipp Mwene has been tapped as the solution.

Mwene left for PSV Eindhoven on a free transfer after spending three seasons with Mainz in the summer of 2021. Mainz themselves acquired Mwene on a free from Pfälzer rivals 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 2018. This time, the German footballing publication reports, Mainz are preparing to shell out a transfer fee of €1-2 million for the 29-year-old.
