For the 29-year-old, however, interest from the Arabian Peninsula didn't awaken much enthusiasm in him this summer. Ducksch noted that he didn't bother to board a plane to follow up on the inquires. Moreover, financial incentives played no role for the veteran now finally thriving in Germany's top footballing flight. Ducksch is quoted as saying that his continued footballing development was far more important.
"I wanted to stay here," Ducksch said, "That was clear to me from very early on. [When it comes to Saudi Arabia] I don't fully understand it because many players have earned enough money in their career and they don't need those extra millions. [In any event] I'm sure they thought about and had their reasons."
"I've set goals for myself this year," he added, "I'm very ambitious and always seek to improve. I think I'm in good shape to do so here."
