It nevertheless appears as if Arminia Bielefeld have scored a coup by obtaining 22-year-old German defender Lennart Czyborra.
The East Westphalian club had been targeting Maximilian Ullman of Rapid Wien, but DSC sporting director Samir Arabi recently confided to a local newspaper that the 25-year-old was beyond the club's current financial reach.
Bielefeld have already racked up a negative transfer balance approaching an estimated €6 million during the current summer window. A loan--even one with an obligatory purchase clause--could help the small market club defer debt. Czyborra's latest market value is listed at €3.5 million.
It goes without saying that--at a €35 million estimated market value--Atalanta's Robin Gosens remains beyond the reach of most all Bundesliga clubs operating under COVID losses.
Lennart Czyborra is set to sign with Arminia Bielefeld on loan with buy option as new left back. Agreement set to be completed. 🔵 #Arminia #transfers
