Bundesliga: The most curious stories from Deadline Day

If you think reality TV is exciting for entertaining and thrillers, you have not yet followed the Deadline Day intensively enough in the Bundesliga. The last day of the alternating phase has both to offer. Until the transfer window finally closes, everything can happen. Drama is guaranteed.

Fans then hang in front of their end devices, update social media and transfer websites, are waiting for news. For some, the day ends in frustration, for others in pure ecstasy. The summer transfer window of this Bundesliga season also had some stories with curious twists.

One of the biggest surprises by the Deadline Day is the change from Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface to Bremen. Werder lends the 24-year-old to the end of the season. A real transfer hammer, because the market value of the attacker should be 40 million euros. Boniface calmly took note of the change – fans could even watch this live.

While the clubs were negotiating, the football star started a live stream on the “Twitch” platform and filmed how he plays a first-person shooter game. This caused amusement on social media and it was speculated wildly when Boniface looked at his cell phone and accepted calls.

When he ended the stream in the meantime, he told the users who had to be upgraded that he now had to go to a wedding. Later he started a Twitch stream again. It turned out: In the meantime, Boniface apparently completed his medical check. Werder employees came to Leverkusen for this. “Change to Werder = wedding”, it was later said in an official on the YouTube channel of the green-whites.

Clemens Fritz, Managing Director of professional football at Werder Bremen, said with a smile at a press conference: “I heard it but didn’t see it. You definitely need an account for that, I don’t have it. I was played that he was playing alone. That is also part of regeneration. We have no problems with someone playing Playstation. “

VfB Stuttgart had less laugh at the end of the day. The cup winner previously announced the loan of the offensive player Bilal El Khannouss from the English second division club Leicester City. However, a setback also followed: the media reported in the evening that the change of the South Korean attacker Hyeon-Gyu Oh from Krc Genk to VfB burst.

Oh fell through the mandatory medical check in Stuttgart. In addition, the Bundesliga club with the Belgian club apparently did not yet agree on the final transfer fee: the Swabians targeted sound ““However, according to Belgian media, 20 million euros requested around 28 million euros.

So nothing became of the deal. Bitter for VfB Stuttgart, who had the offensive players Nick Woltemade (Newcastle United, 85 million euros transfer) and Enzo Millot (al-Nahli, 30 million euros transfer). The injury -related failure of striker Deniz Undav (inner ligament tear in the knee) must also be compensated for.

In Munich, a happy ending followed a disappointment: Shortly before the change of change and after a transfer saga full of twists, FC Bayern now hired striker Nicolas Jackson from Premier League club FC Chelsea.

The German football record champion borrowed the 24-year-old until the end of this season, the Munich people said in the late Monday evening. The rental fee should be 16.5 million euros, as several media unanimously reported. The club did not say whether there is a purchase option.

The Munich team still get reinforcements for their staff not exactly broadly positioned on the last minute – after the transfer seemed to have already burst.

Jackson flown to Munich on Saturday to complete the medical check. Chelsea suddenly made a change veto. The player and his consultant apparently continued to push to a transfer to Bavaria, but these seemed to get out of the poker. Then followed a new turn in favor of the Munich-to match the crazy deadline day (you can find a detailed summary here: the transfer summer for the Bundesliga clubs).
