German and European football correspondent

Editor GOAL DE / SPOX

📝 Bio: Grew up near beautiful Trier, the oldest city in Germany. After studying German studies, I did an internship at GOAL and performed well enough to later do my traineeship in Munich. Since 2017, I’ve been working as an editor at GOAL and SPOX.

⚽ How I got into football:

As far as I can remember, young Lars Ricken in the mid-90s was the first hero of my childhood. Germany winning the 1996 European Championship, the first major tournament I consciously followed, cemented my love for football ever since.

🎯 Main focus in my work:

Researching and writing news (especially transfer news)

Delegating SEO articles

🌟 My favorite football moments:

Oliver Bierhoff’s Golden Goal in the 1996 Euro Final, Mario Götze’s winning goal in the 2014 World Cup Final. And less obvious but just as meaningful: Experiencing at age seven in the stadium how our Trier Eintracht knocked out the reigning UEFA Cup winners Schalke and the reigning Champions League winners Borussia Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal.

    To avoid a bitter departure, Borussia Dortmund is reportedly considering a pay rise for its star player. The club’s hierarchy is said to be weighing a substantial salary bump as pa

    Daniel Svensson has established himself as an absolute mainstay at Borussia Dortmund, and the club is preparing to reward his consistency with a contract that reflects his value. Sources close to the negotiations suggest that both parties are confident of reaching an agreement that will keep the defender at Signal Iduna Park for the foreseeable future. In the Bundesliga, continuity at the back is crucial, and Svensson’s form has made him a key figure in Lucien Favre’s plans. Fans have taken note of his calm distribution, his ability to read danger before it materialises, and his leadership on and off the ball. With the club chasing silverware on multiple fronts, the decision to secure his long-term future is seen as a shrewd move. While the exact terms of the proposed deal remain under wraps, insiders indicate that it will place Svensson among the club’s highest-paid defenders—a fitting recognition of his importance to the side’s ambitions. Supporters will be watching closely as the st

    Replacement for Salah: Is Liverpool interested in Hoffenheim’s Toure? Mohamed Salah’s long-term future at Anfield remains uncertain, and Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Hoffenh

    TSG Hoffenheim forward Bazoumana Toure is reportedly attracting serious interest from Liverpool FC, according to multiple sources briefed on the club’s transfer strategy. The 20-year-old winger, who joined Hoffenheim’s youth setup in 2019 and has since established himself as a regular in the first-team squad, is said to fit the profile Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is looking for: pace, technical ability and the versatility to play across the front line. While no official bid has been confirmed, the Reds are believed to be monitoring Toure’s progress closely as they seek to add depth and creativity to their attack ahead of the new campaign.

    “That’s rubbish”: Real star slammed for controversial moment against Bayern A single flash of poor judgement has ignited a firestorm. After Real Madrid’s latest clash with Bayern M

    Roy Keane has criticised right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold following Real Madrid’s 2-1 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich. The former Manchester United captain, renowned for his no-nonsense approach, delivered his assessment during the post-match analysis, arguing that the Liverpool defender was out of position on several key occasions. Keane’s comments, though blunt, carry weight given his experience as a midfield enforcer and leader, and they highlight the fine margins that can decide big games in Europe. While Alexander-Arnold has earned plaudits for his attacking prowess and pinpoint deliveries, Keane’s critique zeroed in on the 25-year-old’s defensive duties, suggesting that he must improve his positioning and awareness when facing elite opposition. The discussion underscores the ongoing debate about the balance between modern full-backs’ offensive contributions and their defensive responsibilities. For Madrid, the narrow loss mea
