Golla before changing? Flensburg's worries about the national team captain!

The rumor mill around the handball player Johannes Golla from SG Flensburg-Handewitt is sizzling: The 26-year-old captain of the German national team focuses on numerous speculation about a possible change. Since reports last November that MT Melsungen was interested in Golla, its future has developed into a permanent question on the Flensburg Fjord. Golla still has a contract that is valid until June 30, 2026, and he himself emphasizes that he is currently not thinking about changing clubs.

The situation was also complicated by its current health. Golla had recently struggled with a shoulder injury that significantly impaired him during a defeat against SC Magdeburg. Despite his battered constitution, the rumors of change remained, which shows how coveted the player is in the handball landscape. The Flensburg managers express the wish that Golla will be preserved for many years.

The connection to MT Melsungen

The MT Melsungen, led by sports director Michael Allendorf, has so far given no public comments about a possible transfer of Gollas. In the meantime, however, it is assumed that there is an offer that the Flensburg managers could put under pressure. Golla has a former connection to the Melsung team, where he once played in the A-youth and the professionals before moving to Flensburg in 2018. This return to a former club could be important for him and for the MT, especially because the North Hessian team is currently developing a new performance culture.

The MT has a newly sorted board and a trainer who not only wants to work successfully, but also acts strategically in the background. This could address Golla, especially if the financial possibilities of the MT also play a role. But it remains to be seen whether the MT sees itself able to offer Golla in a future summer.

Another point that whirsles the speculation about Golla is the upcoming emigration of another player from Flensburg. Jim Gottfridsson, a key player at Flensburg, will leave the team in summer. The Flensburgers will then have to look all the more for new leaders in order to meet the high ambitions of the team that strives for in the direction of Champions League.

whether Johannes Golla is the next player who leaves SG Flensburg-Handewitt is currently unclear. The developments in the coming months could be decisive for how the handball landscape in Germany is. More information on this topic can be found on www.faz.net .
