Holstein Kiel Rules Out Signing Christoph Kramer in Winter Transfer Window

The Bundesliga club's coach emphasizes the need for affordable players who address specific team needs over big-name signings.

Overview

Holstein Kiel coach Marcel Rapp confirmed the club will not pursue former German international Christoph Kramer during the winter transfer period.
Rapp stated that the team is focusing on signing players who are affordable and fit specific needs rather than those with notable career achievements.
Kramer, a 2014 World Cup winner, has been without a club since terminating his contract with Borussia Mönchengladbach last summer.
The 33-year-old midfielder expressed frustration over the lack of interest from clubs despite offering to play for minimal compensation.
Holstein Kiel, currently second-to-last in the Bundesliga, faces a six-point gap from safety and needs reinforcements to avoid relegation.
