SC Freiburg no longer has to sell its best players every summer. In an interview with the 'Badische Zeitung', CFO Oliver Leki talks about the new financial opportunities for the Breisgauers:
“It's not like six or seven years ago when we had to give up our best three or four players every season. This is now being done in a more targeted manner, but it will also be part of our business model in the future to generate transfer revenues. "
The SC has repeatedly lost top performers in the past transfer phases, such as Caglar Soyuncu, Maximilian Philipp, Luca Waldschmidt and Robin Koch. The Freiburg want to keep the squad together longer and even strengthen it selectively. "We have had steady growth in the past few years and thus managed to keep players longer," said Leki.
