BUNDESLIGA - FSV Mainz, Schmidt: no sales in winter

Published on: 17 September 2021

Martin Schmidt took stock of his first summer as sports director at FSV Mainz 05. “We wanted to keep the team together, strengthen it, but also downsize it. It all worked out. We got our dream players and moved within our economic possibilities. I don't think that we would have done a lot different with more money,” said the Swiss in an interview with “ Bild ”.

Departures such as Robin Quaison or Dong-won Ji have been replaced by cheap newcomers such as Marcus Ingvartsen (25, on loan from Union Berlin) or Jae-sung Lee (28, free of charge). Also because of the small transfer surplus, Schmidt doesn't believe in bloodletting in winter: “We don't have to sell anyone in January and don't want to tear the team apart.

An offer that makes us shake will not be economically feasible for many clubs. And if they do, they know which house numbers are to be called up by our interesting players. "
