Bundesliga promoted Union Berlin has engaged former national player Christian Gentner of relegated VfB Stuttgart. The VfB captain of the previous season receives a one-year contract from Union.
“It was always clear to me that I could and wanted to continue playing football at the highest level,” said the 33-year-old. “Union has developed fantastically over the last few years, I can already remember the atmosphere in the stadium at the Alte Försterei from the ascent season with VfB”.
In addition, Union defender Marvin Friedrich of FC Augsburg was under contract. The 23-year-old was last lent to the Köpenickers and scored in the first leg of the relegation against VfB Stuttgart the goal to 2:2. Friedrich’s contract is valid until June 30, 2022 as well as for the Bundesliga and 2nd league.
