This reports the “image“-Zeitung and relies on his own information. According to the article, the ex-promotion goalkeeper from Dynamo Dresden is at the top of the wish list and is not averse to accepting the offer.
The change should be sealed immediately after the transfer window opens on January 1st, after all his contract in the Netherlands only runs until the summer. He is only planned as a third keeper, it is said.
Because Philipp Tschauner (36) will end his career in the summer and should continue as a youth coach. That’s why the Bulls need a new number three.

However, it is questionable whether Blaswich really wants to do this, especially from a sporting point of view. After all, the former goalkeeper from FC Hansa Rostock and Borussia Mönchengladbach is the clear number one at his current club and also the captain.
Under the German coach Frank Wormuth (61), he has been set since the summer of 2018 and has been used 101 times for Almelo. In the Eredivisie he can also compete with top teams such as Ajax Amsterdam, Feyenoord Rotterdam and PSV Eindhoven every year.

His chances of playing at RB, on the other hand, would be slim. After all, he would have the undisputed number one in Leipzig, Peter Gulacsi (31), and Josep Martinez (23) under his nose. Despite several competitions, he will not get away with regular training and the occasional test match.
It is at least questionable whether he wants to do that to himself at the best goalkeeper age of 31, but it is definitely possible because he would probably earn more with the Bulls and he would probably no longer have to deal with the relegation battle. Almelo is in that in the Eredivisie right now.
Nevertheless, Blaswich knows the feeling of only being a substitute from his time in Gladbach, when first Marc-Andre ter Stegen (29) was in front of him and then Yann Sommer (32). That’s why he was only used in the second team of the foals. However, there hasn’t been an U23 at RB for years.

It remains to be seen whether the goalie, who was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga with Dynamo in 2016, was the first keeper in Rostock and is now also unchallenged at Heracles. But it is not excluded.
