Kiel trio before the changes: Arp to Odense, Dähne to Munich!
In the last few weeks, the football scene on the Kiel Fjord has been moving quite a bit. Three players from Holstein Kiel have set off for new shores. On Monday, Fiete Arp, Thomas Dähne and Tymoteusz Puchacz stayed away from training because they were in contract talks with other clubs. Transfer market reports that the departure of Dähne and Arp was unavoidable, as both players would have difficulty getting regular playing time at Holstein Kiel next year.
A look at the new additions shows that the Kiel team already began a change last season under sports director Olaf Rebbe. Holstein has signed a total of nine new players and most recently signed the experienced midfielder Stefan Schwab (34) from PAOK Thessaloniki. With regard to the challenges ahead, coach Marcel Rapp is satisfied with the squad planning and sees great potential in the young talents he has in the squad.
Fiete Arp is moving to Denmark
The striker Fiete Arp has finally found a new club. He signed a contract until 2028 with the Danish club Odense Boldklub, where a transfer fee of 250,000 euros was agreed. Arp explained that he was attracted to Odense from the start and is motivated to develop the club further. His coach, Alexander Zorniger, worked hard for this commitment. Sports1 highlights that Arp did not make the breakthrough after returning from Bayern Munich to Holstein Kiel. Last season he played 23 Bundesliga games, in which he only managed two goals.
Departures and new challenges
Thomas Dähne, who has played as a goalkeeper for Kiel for the last five years, has also signed a new contract and is moving to TSV 1860 Munich on a free transfer. Rapp praised Dähne as an exemplary sportsman and team player, which makes his departure significant for the Kiel team. The keeper himself is looking forward to his next challenge in Munich.
The third player, Tymoteusz Puchacz, also has several options after his loan spell at Plymouth Argyle. He has been linked with Championship clubs as well as Jagiellonia Bialystok and FC Schalke 04. His expired contract with Holstein Kiel would have lasted until 2028, but according to current information, he is no longer able to fill a vacant role in the Kiel team.
Outlook and squad development
With the current departures, the Kiel team is embarking on another change of course. Coach Marcel Rapp will rely on several young players in the future and is planning comprehensive changes, especially in the goalkeeper position. Even departures like that of Nicolai Remberg, who is moving to Hamburger SV, don't worry Rapp. The Kiel team is relying on sustainable development and a fresh, young team that is ready to surprise in the coming season.
