New signing announcement: Appelgren and Martinovic join Veszprem's handball team
The handball world is abuzz with excitement as Hungarian powerhouse Veszprém Handball Club has announced the signing of two Danish Olympic champions, Emil Nielsen and Lukas Joergensen, for the 2026/27 season. This significant move follows the departure of Mikael Appelgren and Ivan Martinovic, who have joined Veszprém after their successful stint with the 2024 World Championship-winning Rhein-Neckar Lions.
The transfer of Appelgren and Martinovic to Veszprém is reported to have cost a high six-figure fee, marking the continuation of the club's efforts to strengthen its roster for the upcoming seasons. Martinovic has signed a contract with Veszprem that is valid until 2029, while Appelgren has received a one-year contract.
Meanwhile, the Rhein-Neckar Lions have swiftly moved to fill the void left by their departing stars, signing Mike Jensen and Lukas Sandell as replacements. Interestingly, both Jensen and Sandell previously played for Veszprém, adding a familiar touch to their new team.
Contrary to earlier reports, Emil Nielsen and Lukas Joergensen will not be part of the 2026/27 season roster for Veszprém, as they were previously associated with the club. However, the search results do not provide specific information about their contract durations or the new signings for Veszprém in the 2026/27 season.
Veszprém, with its ambition to win the Champions League and include more Hungarian players in their squad, is targeting major signings. For detailed updates on Veszprém's signings and contract terms, it would be best to check their official club announcements or recent news updates.
Lukas Joergensen, a Danish Olympic champion, joins his fellow Danish Olympic champion, Emil Nielsen, in the Veszprém squad. The joining of these two talented players is expected to bolster Veszprém's chances in the upcoming seasons.
The transfer of Jensen and Sandell to the Rhein-Neckar Lions, on the other hand, was not reported to have involved a transfer fee. As the dust settles on these exciting moves, both teams are poised to make a strong impact in the upcoming seasons.
Other sports, such as football, might be looked into by Veszprém Handball Club as they aim to bolster their roster for the upcoming seasons, given their ambition to win the Champions League and include more Hungarian players in their squad. The signing of Danish Olympic champions Emil Nielsen and Lukas Joergensen in football could significantly enhance Veszprém's chances in various sports.
