Simon Pytlick's explosive criticism puts Flensburg future in doubt
Danish left back Simon Pytlick could leave SG Flensburg-Handewitt earlier than planned. The 26-year-old, set to join Füchse Berlin by summer 2027, has openly criticised his current club's management. His comments have sparked discussions, while transfer talks remain at a standstill.
Pytlick, who has played 73 league matches and nine cup games for Flensburg since 2025, recently voiced his dissatisfaction in a TV2 interview. He admitted losing trust in the club's leadership, prompting Flensburg's sports director, Ljubomir Vranjes, to call for a clarifying meeting.
Despite reports of a transfer fee exceeding one million euros, both Vranjes and Füchse Berlin's president, Bob Hanning, dismissed the figure as exaggerated and unrealistic. Hanning confirmed that while the club made a strong offer, they would not meet any price. Currently, no negotiations are taking place between the two sides. Pytlick and Füchse Berlin are pushing for an early move, but the deal remains uncertain. His national teammate and future Berlin player, Mathias Gidsel, has publicly supported him during the ongoing dispute.
The transfer remains in limbo, with no active talks between the clubs. Pytlick's future at Flensburg is now in question, though his switch to Berlin is still expected by summer 2027. The player's criticism and the stalled negotiations have added tension to the situation.
