Alemannia Aachen is planning the new season – and that without winger and crowd favorite Selim Gündüz. This one is very disappointed.
Reported just a few days ago Selim Gunduz opposite to RevierSportthat he certainly has a future at Alemannia Aachen can imagine. And that despite offers from the second Turkish league.
“I met a lot of great people in Aachen, it’s a great club. I can definitely imagine staying there. We’ll see what the days bring,” said the 28-year-old, who has made 15 appearances (one goal, one Template) in the first half of 2022 in the hearts of Alemannia fans played against RevierSport on Wednesday.
Only two days later, on Friday, these words were outdated again. Because there was bad news for Gündüz. The winger’s adviser rejected an Alemannia offer for Gündüz.
Since we stretched out as much as possible for him within the scope of our financial possibilities, we needed early feedback for planning purposes. There were no questions or anything else about this.

Thus, for those responsible in Aachen around sports director Helge Hohl, Gündüz’s personal details have also been filed away, like Hohl did on Friday evening RevierSport explained: “Selim has already rejected the financial offer for the coming season, which we made through his advisor – due to Selim’s stay in Mallorca with the team – in the middle of the week with a period of reflection until next week. Since we within the framework of our financial possibilities for him, we needed early feedback for planning purposes. There were no queries or anything else.” Hohl added: “Even though I am surprised by the statements and the chosen medium, I would like to thank Selim on behalf of Alemannia for his commitment over the past six months and wish him only the best for the future!”
Shortly before, Gündüz, who once played for VfL Bochum in the 2nd Bundesliga, had given vent to his frustration about the “contract negotiations” with an emotional Instagram post and also shot against Aachen’s sports director Helge Hohl. Gündüz was perplexed, appalled that he found out about his future from the “Aachener Zeitung” and that there were even talks. He presents his view of things via Instagram.
I am disappointed and it hurts my heart to learn about my future from the newspaper. That hurts. It wasn’t like I made utopian demands. It is even less than what I previously earned at the employment office.

Gündüz said: “Dear Alemannia fans, I don’t even know where to start. I’m still upset. You simply deserve to know the truth. (…). I was in Bochum, in Krefeld, in Darmstadt “, but in Halle I have never experienced anything like Aachen in this form, this humanity, this cohesion. Thank you for that. Today I read a report that I will move on. I would like to comment on that, I can do that I can’t let it stand like that. In the last few weeks and days, I haven’t received the appreciation that I would have wished for. I am disappointed and it hurts my heart to learn about my future from the newspaper. It hurts. It wasn’t that I made utopian demands. It’s even less than what I was making before at the unemployment office. Just so you’re all aware of that. What’s even sadder is that it was a conversation with Mr. Hohl is said to have given that never happened found. My agent only told me that this was Alemannia’s last offer and that I should make a decision by Saturday. I think that a sports director like Helge Hohl calls me a crowd favourite, a five-minute conversation would have been appropriate, right? But the conversation never took place. Neither Sascha Eller nor Helge Hohl nor Fuat Kilic have contacted me. (…). I really wonder why you don’t sit down with Selim Gündüz for five minutes and talk openly. But I’ve never experienced anything like this in this form. Nevertheless: I wish the club and the fans all the best. I thank you for everything!”
