Investigation into Berkan Taz's public appearances imminent
Berkan Taz, the talented striker for SC Verl, scored the opening goal in the 14th minute of their season opener against SV Waldhof Mannheim. Despite playing with a numerical disadvantage for roughly 70 minutes, SC Verl managed to draw 2:2.
Taz's strong performance in the match may have caught the eye of other clubs, as his impressive display has not gone unnoticed. His impressive statistics from the previous season, where he scored 13 goals and provided 14 assists in 37 appearances, are a testament to his abilities.
While there has been no mention of Taz in the 1. FC Nürnberg's surroundings, other clubs such as VfL Bochum and Preußen Münster were reportedly interested in the player during the transfer period. The interest from VfL Bochum seems to have faded early on, but there is potential interest in Taz from second division clubs or ambitious third division clubs.
Taz's contract extension with SC Verl until 2026, which he signed in the spring, may have made his departure from the team less likely. However, Zlatko Janjic, SC Verl's sporting director, suggests that Taz's release clause might have already expired, potentially opening the door for a move.
Tobias Strobl, the new coach of SC Verl, is likely to want to end the player turnover and establish a functioning team. This could impact Taz's decision to stay or leave the club.
Meanwhile, SC Verl has seen the departure of another talented player, as Japaur has suffered a cruciate ligament injury. Eze and Alem Japaur, a striker who joined from Würzburger Kickers, will be suspended for the upcoming match against SV Wehen Wiesbaden.
The upcoming match against SV Wehen Wiesbaden is on Saturday at 4:30 PM. It remains to be seen whether Taz will be a part of the team or if he will have moved on to a new club by then.
Taz's impressive performance in the match, including his goal in the season opener of SC Verl, might attract attention from clubs participating in the Champions League or other European leagues, capitalizing on his 13 goals and 14 assists from the previous season. Meanwhile, with Taz's release clause potentially having expired, speculation about his departure from SC Verl persists, despite his contract extension until 2026.
