Berlin Halts Pytlick Talks After Big Bid, Says It Won’t Pay Any Price

A price gap over an early exit persists despite a 2027 release clause in his deal.

Overview

  • Nicolej Krickau, speaking Wednesday, said Füchse Berlin’s negotiations with SG Flensburg-Handewitt over Simon Pytlick have stopped despite a large offer and he stressed the club will not overpay.
  • Flensburg’s sporting chief Ljubomir Vranjes called the seven‑figure sums in the media exaggerated, and Berlin boss Bob Hanning labeled the rumored price unrealistic.
  • Pytlick told Danish broadcaster TV2 that his trust in Flensburg’s leadership has been damaged, and the club said it will seek a clarifying talk with the Danish international.
  • Reports in Germany cite figures around €1.5 million for an immediate move, which outlets note would far exceed the roughly €500,000 record fee in Germany’s top handball league, though clubs dispute those numbers.
  • Krickau said he feels sorry for Pytlick’s situation, and future Berlin teammate Mathias Gidsel said his friend is unhappy, a mood shaped by the stalemate and by Berlin already expecting Pytlick’s 2027 switch under his clause.
