Overview
- Abendzeitung reported that Jens Lehmann aims to acquire Hasan Ismaik’s majority stake for roughly €25–30 million and install himself as head of sport while bringing former club figures into operations.
- Club president Gernot Mang told tz there is nothing to the story, indicating the third‑tier side is not treating the speculation as a live process.
- Ismaik said he does not know Lehmann and dismissed the talk as hot air in comments to Merkur/tz.
- The reported vision includes a 40,000–50,000‑seat stadium in München‑Riem costing an estimated €250–350 million, which contrasts with the club’s focus on Giesing and the Grünwalder Stadion.
- The rumor follows a collapsed July sale to a Swiss buyer and echoes prior, unfulfilled links between Lehmann and 1860, with early fan reaction largely skeptical.
