Union Berlin Bids Adieu to Ilic, Jeong, and Three More: Ilic Heads Back to Lille, Jeong Rejoins Stuttgart
Players Ilic and Jeong depart, as union offloads five team members. - Union transfers five roster members: Ilic and Jeong among the moving players
Hey there! Guess what? Your favorite Bundesliga team, 1. FC Union Berlin, is saying goodbye to five players. To be more specific, left-back Jerome Roussillon, backup goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow, striker Andrej Ilic, midfielder Wooyeong Jeong, and forward Kevin Volland are all parting ways with Union Berlin for various reasons.
While the departures of Roussillon, Schwolow, and Volland may not be a big deal as they didn't play crucial roles at Union, the exits of Ilic and Jeong might leave a void. Both players joined Union Berlin last summer and become integral components of the team. Unfortunately, high transfer fees seem to be hindering a permanent stay in the German capital for them.
Ilic, in particular, has recently been on fire, playing in ten games under manager Steffen Baumgart. He's been the second-best scorer for Union Berlin with five goals [1][2]. The experienced 35-year-old will now rejoin OSC Lille [2]. Jeong, who suffered an ankle injury earlier in the season and was sidelined for the rest, will once again suit up for VfB Stuttgart [1][2].
