Nürnberg and Eintracht thus concluded their second mutual piece of business in the current January transfer window. FCN left-back Nathaniel Brown will be moving to the Adlerträger this summer. Wenig - a Nürnberg native who also once worked in the Bayern youth academy - will have the opportunity to join his original academy club permanently if Nürnberg opt to activate a purchase option.
"I really wanted to seize the opportunity to come to 'der Club'," Wenig noted in a statement released at his unveiling, "This step is something very special. Now it's time for me to present myself and step on the gas pedal."
"Marcel is a Nuremberg native who doesn't need a long acclimatization period," FCN sporting director Olaf Rebbe added, "He now has the chance to prove himself with us. We are delighted that he will be joining us."
