SC Freiburg: Rumors of change around Ritsu Doan? Sports board clarifies!

Freiburg, Deutschland - The SC Freiburg has made it clear: A change from Ritsu Doan during the winter break is "not an issue". Sports director Jochen Saier left no doubt when he vehemently returned the rumors about a departure of 26-year-old Japanese international on the sidelines of the Bundesliga game against FSV Mainz 05.

"Doan has developed fantastically," praised Saier to the talented offensive player, who regularly impresses with his risk of goal and his scorer points. "It is clear that there is interest in him, but we can rule out a winter change. We want to successfully complete the season, and Ritsu is a decisive factor for this," emphasized Saier during an interview with DAZN. The focus is on the current season, and Doan will continue to play a central role in the team.

Freiburg relies on continuity

The clear announcement of SC Freiburg shows that the club relies on continuity and wants to keep its key players. Doan, who has presented himself strongly in recent months, remains an important support for the team. The fans can therefore breathe a sigh of relief: For Doan, winter is not a farewell, but for another chance of proving its skills on the pitch.
