VfL Bochum is looking for the next Lenz to strengthen the squad and improve the financial situation. The transfer of Cajetan Lenz to TSG Hoffenheim has brought VfL Bochum around 10 million euros, which will be directly invested in the new squad. However, this is also urgently needed, as the club's revenue is declining. Ilja Kaenzig, the boss of VfL Bochum, explains that the club needs annual transfer revenues of around 8 million euros to remain competitive. For this, a Lenz is needed in every age group who can bring in big money. VfL Bochum has an advantage: due to the current major upheaval, some places are also available for the club's own young players. Kaenzig explains that the idea is for players from the club's own youth to come in from the 21st squad position. The pipeline with exceptional talents is full. Players like Lasse Isbruch or Luis Pick will also be part of the preparation and should, in the best possible case, remain part of the squad. Luis Pick is a central striker, 1.88 meters tall, and scored seven goals in 14 games last season. Lasse Isbruch is a central midfielder and was involved in four goals in 12 games. Other exciting names are Darnell Keumo, Tom Meyer, Alessandro Crimaldi, and Moritz Göttlicher. VfL Bochum hopes that after the upcoming season, interested parties will be lining up. Ilja Kaenzig is convinced that the club will find the next Lenz. VfL Bochum must find the next Lenz to strengthen the squad and improve the financial situation.
