Munich's TSV 1860 considering possible signings: Kevin Volland and Florian Niederlechner as potential acquisitions?
TSV 1860 Munich's Stirring Signing Saga Continues
TSV 1860 Munich, the Bavarian club, has once again caused a buzz with their bold moves. Following a successful 2:1 win against Alemannia Aachen on Maundy Saturday, the Lions are in high spirits, securing their place in the 3rd Liga for another season, with aspirations to finally climb back to the Bundesliga in 2025/26.
Their ambitions were certainly on display on Easter Monday, when TSV 1860 shocked everyone by announcing the signing of ex-national team player Kevin Volland. Volland, who spent 13 years away from Munich after his departure for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, will be returning to his hometown club, having played for a host of other teams (Bayer Leverkusen, AS Monaco, and 1. FC Union Berlin) along the way.
Homecoming Hero
With 276 Bundesliga games, 86 Ligue 1 appearances, and 17 Champions League matches under his belt, Volland, who can play both up front and behind, is set to become a crucial addition to the Lions' squad. Excited about the new opportunity, Volland said, "I made my professional football debut with TSV 1860, and I'm thrilled to repay that trust now. I can't wait to give my all for my home team."
TSV 1860's managing director, Dr. Christian Werner, expressed similar enthusiasm, predicting that Volland won't just boost the team's performance on the pitch, but also reinforce the team spirit off it.
Potential Tie-Up with Niederlechner
There's another familiar face being linked with TSV 1860 Munich—Florian Niederlechner. A former youth player for the club, Niederlechner has made a name for himself in the Bundesliga, playing for various teams (SpVgg Unterhaching, 1. FC Heidenheim, 1. FSV Mainz 05, FC Augsburg, SC Freiburg, and Hertha BSC) before his current stint.
In the 2022/23 season, Niederlechner has made 24 appearances for Hertha BSC in the 2nd Bundesliga, scoring six goals. Despite this, he's mostly been on the bench, with rumors circulating that Berlin is looking to move on from the 34-year-old.
According to reports from "Sky," TSV 1860 is showing interest in Niederlechner, and negotiations are said to be underway between the club and the Munich native. The major obstacle seems to be the financial aspect, with both sides needing to find a mutually agreeable solution if the deal is to go through. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story!
