Mainz 05 fights for Burkardt and Amiri: European Cup as a magnet!

The football scene around the 1st FSV Mainz 05 is currently shaped by large transfer rumors. The club bosses hope for a long -term bond of two of their most valuable players: Jonathan Burkardt and Nadiem Amiri. While Burkardt is the third best scorer of the Bundesliga with 15 goals, the sporting management is optimistic.

Sports director Niko Bungert is convinced that the prospect of possible European Cup games could be a crucial incentive for Burkardt. "There are two scenarios: Burkardt stays and plays European or we have to lead negotiations with other clubs," said Bungert about the possible developments. However, the view of external interested parties is becoming increasingly concrete.

Currently Burkardt and Amiri are in conversation with other clubs. While Burkardt could possibly switch to Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig also shows interest in Amiri. Both players are important supports of the team and were most recently together in the starting eleven of the German national team in the 2-1 victory against Italy in the Nations League.

The contracts of both players are still running for a long time: Burkard's commitment in Mainz applies until 2027, while Amiri's contract extends until 2028. However, there is an increasing trend in its market values, which Burkardt currently estimates at 25 million euros and Amiri at 11 million euros. Bungert also expects the market value of Burkardt in the near future.

The Situation at Mainz 05

With the current place in the table as third in the Bundesliga, Mainz 05 has realistic chances of participating in the European Cup, which significantly increases the attractiveness of the association for the players. It would be a crucial factor for Burkardt, which contributed significantly to the success of the team last season.

Especially in view of Brajan Gruda's record change for 31.5 million euros in Brighton & Hove Albion last year, the Mainz tries to keep their top performers in the club. Bunger's optimism with regard to Amiri is well -being of his appreciation for the club and its family home in Ludwigshafen.

The coming weeks could become decisive for Mainz 05, not least because of the approaching update for market value adjustment on March 27, which could possibly bring a new dynamic into the transfer situation.
