Athlete Joergensen departs Flensburg, bound for Veszprem - Jorgensen departs from Flensburg towards Veszprem.
In a significant move for the Handball-Bundesliga, Danish world champion and Olympic winner Lukas Joergensen has announced his departure from SG Flensburg-Handewitt to join Hungarian top club Veszprem in the summer of 2026.
Joergensen's decision to seek a new challenge marks the end of an era for Flensburg, who will also be losing another key player, Johannes Golla, as he returns to MT Melsungen after the 2025/26 season.
The Flensburgers have not yet announced any other new signings for the circle player and central defender positions for the 2026/27 season, leaving a significant gap in their roster. So far, only Emil Bergholt from Skjern HB has been confirmed as a new signing to fill these positions.
Holger Glandorf, the managing director of Flensburg, expressed his disappointment at Joergensen's departure, stating that they fought hard to convince him to stay. However, he also acknowledged the player's desire for a new adventure and respected his decision.
Lukas Joergensen has signed a three-year contract with Veszprem, lasting until 2029. His new contract is not with SG Flensburg-Handewitt, but with the Hungarian club Veszprem.
Johannes Golla and Lukas Joergensen's departures will leave Flensburg without two crucial players in the circle and central defender positions. The club will need to find replacements to maintain their competitive standing in the Handball-Bundesliga.
Lukas Joergensen's impressive career includes numerous titles, most notably his status as a world champion and Olympic winner. His move to Veszprem is set to be an exciting addition to the Hungarian club, as they aim to maintain their position at the top of the league.
