Four prominent Union members listed in Baumgart's music collection!
Let's Get This Show On The Road!
(A lousy season deserves a better follow-up. Horst Heldt, Union's sporty boss, aged 55, has set a clear goal: revamp and revitalize the team.)
Godspeed, Heldt, your mission: reshaping the roster! With Woo-yeong Jeong, the 25-year-old Stuttgart loaner, you've started, and he's set to join us in Köpenick for a projected 4 million euros.
Sure, to bring in new talents, some must go, too.
Sweat It Out: These Four Union Stars are Gonna Paint You Red!
Kevin Vogt (33): The next generation's quest for dominance! Leopold Querfeld (21), the Ösi talent, has put Vogt's spot up for grabs. Under Baumgart, Vogt (353 Bundesliga games) is no longer a key player, and his contract runs till 2027, but apparently he's on his way out. Vogt's dwindling relevance stems from Union's strategy of nurturing young talents and profiting suitably from them—and he's not part of that vision.
Ivan Prtajin (29): A major transfer flop! The striker (now in the second division) failed to sync with the team, managing only 158 minutes of playtime and no goals. Multiple German second-division clubs have shown interest, and Heldt is keeping his fingers crossed for a transfer fee of 1 million euros to minimize losses.
Laszlo Benes (27): A victim of the system! Union's playstyle leaves the technically gifted midfielder on the bench, with dreams of Bundesliga glory burning. But will a lucrative offer arrive that satisfies Union, given they've invested 3 million euros in him?
Lucas Tousart (28): Tousart struggles for playing time amid strong competition. If he's got what it takes to win us over, let's wait and see. The Frenchman's contract runs till 2026, but there's no word on a potential exit yet.
Improve the squad with young talents, as European-leagues sports-analysis suggests. The much-needed revamp includes moving on from Kevin Vogt, Ivan Prtajin, Laszlo Benes, and Lucas Tousart, whose spots are troublesome due to the team's focus on nurturing youth and recouping investments.
