IFK Göteborg Secures Tobias Heintz in Major Winter Transfer move
IFK Göteborg has made its second major signing of the winter transfer window, securing Norwegian midfielder Tobias Heintz on a three-year contract. The 26-year-old, who recently terminated his contract with bulgarian club CSKA Sofia, is set to join Blåvitt’s training camp in Spain on Sunday to finalize the deal.
According to Expressen,the agreement between Heintz and IFK Göteborg is already in place,with only the medical examination and formal contract signing remaining.If all goes well, Heintz will be officially unveiled as the club’s latest addition.
This marks a return to Gothenburg for Heintz, who previously played for BK Häcken during the 2021 season. During his time with Häcken, he made 28 appearances and scored three goals, showcasing his versatility and skill in the midfield.
A Proven Talent
Heintz brings a wealth of experience to IFK Göteborg. After his stint in Sweden, he moved to Turkish side Kasimpasa before joining CSKA Sofia, where he made 71 appearances, scoring ten goals and providing nine assists. His ability to contribute both defensively and offensively makes him a valuable asset for Blåvitt as they aim to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
Hectic Winter for Blåvitt
The signing of Heintz is part of a busy winter for IFK Göteborg. Sporting director Hannes Stiller has been actively working to bolster the team’s roster. Earlier this week, the club made a bid worth SEK 5.7 million for nordsjælland’s wing forward Mads Hansen, signaling their intent to compete at the highest level.
However, the club may also face departures. Striker Laurs Skjellerup has attracted interest from several European clubs, including Serie A’s Parma, Serie B’s Sassuolo, and a top Belgian side. Skjellerup’s potential exit could open the door for further reinforcements in the attacking department.
What’s Next for Heintz?
Heintz is expected to travel to Spain on Sunday to undergo his medical examination and sign the contract. If all goes smoothly, he will join his new teammates in preparation for the upcoming season. His return to the Allsvenskan is highly anticipated, and fans will be eager to see how he integrates into the squad.
