Overview
- Reports on Sunday said both MT Melsungen and SG Flensburg-Handewitt confirmed Johannes Golla has asked to leave Melsungen and return to Flensburg.
- Golla moved from Flensburg to Melsungen in the summer after eight years with SG and now cites his family's difficulty settling as the reason for asking to go back.
- The player remains under contract with Melsungen through summer 2031 and MT’s sporting director said early negotiations with Flensburg resulted in a refusal.
- Flensburg’s sporting director has publicly supported Golla and indicated an exit clause could exist in his deal, a point both clubs say needs private discussion.
- Media reports suggest an exit clause or a transfer fee would be needed to resolve the situation and the next steps are more talks between the clubs that will determine whether Golla can return.
