The 1. FC Nürnberg announced an early decision in Lukas Schleimer’s staff (25). At the end of the season, the attacker will leave his training association, where the contract expires. Also with Florian Flick (24), who still has a long reduction contract, a departure could be imminent.

« We are in a phase in which decisions for management planning must be taken, which is why we exchanged ourselves with Lukas at an early stage and made the decision that he will accept a new challenge in summer, » said the FCN board of directors, Joti Chatzilexiou.

Born to Trier, the native had moved from Schweich to Middle Franconia over eight years ago and trained the club since the U19. He first made his professional debut during a loan of the 1. FC Saarbrücken in the 3rd division. In Nuremberg, Schleimer collected second division operations from the 2021/22 season and increased his account in the Lower House to 93 games to date. Overall, the attacker arrives at exactly 100 competitive games with FCN professionals. During the last season of the second division, he only sat on the bench with a match all over the season. In the current round, he was not allowed to run six times, was not part of the team three times and was not on the field for more than 20 minutes in ten matches.

Flick can also leave Nuremberg-inquiries from the second division competition

The midfielder’s film should not have a future with the club either. After two years in Nuremberg, the former Schalker can search for a new club according to the information from the newspaper « Bild ». The FCN had already had conversations with the native of Mannheim. With Jens Castrop (21, Gladbach), a departure from the Nuremberg midfielder has already been determined. International Junior Caspar Jander (22 years old) also creates great interest in the Bundesliga.

Flick is contractually linked to Pegnitz after the season, but there had already been rumors of change in the transfer window last January, after the former regular player was used very shortly after six departures at the start of the season. In December, Flick seemed to obtain the upper waters with two other departures of departure, but from January, however, his playing time was again radically reduced.

Where to change the film is always in the stars. There should have been cowardly surveys of German second division teams and first division teams from abroad.
