Dustin Forkel is moving from Regensburg to Schweinfurt on loan!

There is constant movement in football and some young players like to take a step back when looking for match practice. This also applies to Dustin Forkel, the 20-year-old attacker who is considered a promising talent. Forkel is moving on loan from SSV Jahn Regensburg to 1. FC Schweinfurt in order to get more playing time there in the second half of the season. Sports director Joti Chatzialexiou explained that Forkel did not have the desired opportunities at Regensburg. It is all the better that he now has the chance to be on the pitch regularly in Schweinfurt. Forkel can look back on 16 appearances in which he scored one goal and prepared two more, but he was denied the big stage. Chatzialexiou wishes him much success on his new path in Schweinfurt, where he will now be able to actively help move the team forward. Here go to the full report about Forkel's change.

The change is particularly exciting as Schweinfurt suffered a bitter defeat on the last matchday of the league. Regensburg beat Schweinfurt 3-0 and celebrated their first win of the season. They were supported by 7,553 spectators in the Jahnstadion and made it impressively clear that they could perform as a more mature team. Beckhoff, Eichinger and Hermes scored the goals for Regensburg. In particular, the mistake by Schweinfurt goalkeeper Stahl led to the first goal, which put the team under pressure on defense. More details about the gameplay show that despite many changes in the starting eleven, including Shuranov's debut from the start, Schweinfurt did not find the necessary stability.

A look at transfers in football

The current transfer period, which has taken place rheumatically around the world, shows that clubs like Regensburg and Schweinfurt are not the only ones who loan, buy or sell players. The transfer fees vary enormously, and only a handful of clubs are able to invest three-digit millions. A notable example from the past is the transfer of Neymar, who moved from Barcelona to Paris St. Germain in 2017 for an incredible 222 million euros - a record that still stands today. At a time when the Saudi Pro League is attracting attention with heavy investments, it is clear how dynamic the business is. The most famous players who moved to Saudi Arabia include Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, who recently returned to Brazil after disappointing performances.

How things will develop remains exciting. Both Forkel's move and general developments in football show that finding the right location for talent and the right strategy is becoming increasingly important for clubs. And this is certainly not the last change we will see this season.
