Proposal's decision delayed by the Commission.
The secret's out – days before the critical league match against VfL Gummersbach (Thursday, 7 pm/Dyn), Berlin's Füchse drop a bomb! They've snatched up Tobias Gröndahl (24), a Norwegian powerhouse, from their fierce rivals.
Strengthening their squad for the new season, the Berliners bring in this backcourt phenom on a deal that lasts until 2028. Gröndahl moves from the former Gidsel club GOG in Denmark, and, with this move, he'll play outside Scandinavia for the first time. He'll don the iconic number 15 in Berlin – a number synonymous with his family lineage.
The legendary Paul Drux (30), who bowed out prematurely mid-season due to injury, will receive a proper farewell following the game against VfL Gummersbach. His replacement is eagerly anticipated by the fans, with Gröndahl on deck to fill Drux's shoes, especially as a playmaker in the Handball Bundesliga and the Champions League.
Gröndahl's exit from GOG Håndbold comes a year before his contract expires. The crafty playmaker with 52 international caps for Norway[2] is beyond ecstatic about this fantastic opportunity. Known for his strategic leadership and goal-scoring prowess, he targets nothing less than championships for the Foxes[1].
Perfect! Füchse Berlin buy Gröndahl out of contract
Gröndahl overflows with excitement: "This is a true honor to play for such an incredible team with legends like Mathias Gidsel, Lasse Andersson, and many others. My main reason for joining is to chase every trophy I can get my hands on. The Foxes currently have the chance to dominate both the German championship and the Champions League. I'm determined to achieve these goals for the coming seasons."
Füchse Berlin's sports director, Stefan Kretzschmar (52), shares his eagerness: "Tobias Gröndahl and his agent have been on our radar for quite some time. I believe he's a match made in heaven for us. He's a goal-scoring tactician with exceptional vision who'll add the X-factor."
"Since Paul Drux is no longer with us, we needed a player to breathe new life into our team. With Tobias Gröndahl on board, we've landed one of the top players in the game, providing a valuable addition to the squad," Füchse Berlin boss, Bob Hanning (57), adds.
Coach Jaron Siewert (31) chimes in: "With Tobias Gröndahl, we're getting an intelligent and creative player. I couldn't be happier that we managed to pull this coup!"
The signing of Tobias Gröndahl by Füchse Berlin puts them in a strong position for the upcoming European leagues, as he aims to help the team claim championships in the German championship and the Champions League. Füchse Berlin's acquisition of Gröndahl, who was previously with GOG Håndbold, signals the team's intent to make a notable impact in sports, especially football and the Champions League.
