VfL Bochum: Holtmann on Bielefeld victory and contract

Gerrit Holtmann is having a strong season at VfL Bochum. With a year left on the contract, he wants planning security. A decision is pending.

During the week we spoke to Gerrit Holtmann about his spectacular season. “Incredible” he had repeatedly called the season at his VfL Bochum. The 2:1 against Arminia Bielefeld is now the penultimate chapter, which, however, also has drama to offer.

Holtmann himself did not play a leading role this time. “We should have closed the sack beforehand and led three or four to one at half-time,” said the 27-year-old, looking back at the long, exciting game. Only an own goal by George Bello (89th) after goals by Sebastian Polter (21st) and Joakim Nilsson (34th) brought the decision.

After the recent home win, the winger was noticeably proud. “Which promoted team can claim to have 42 points already. We did an excellent job throughout the season and had highlights like the wins against Bayern and Dortmund,” he enthused. He also remembered the home game against Mainz 05 (2-0). No wonder, after all, Holtmann had scored the “Goal of the Year” there.

Since he came to VfL Bochum in the summer of 2020, Gerrit Holtmann has developed into a regular and Bundesliga player. “VfL has brought me forward in the two years. I will never forget that,” said Holtmann.

Holtmann wants to make a decision in the summer

“Transfermarkt.de” estimates his market value at 4.5 million euros. For Holtmann the highest level of his career, to which the current season has contributed. His contract runs until the summer of 2023. “We will hold talks,” says Holtmann. Nevertheless, his future should already be decided this summer. Because either VfL sells Holtmann in the summer and collects a fee. Or the 27-year-old stays, signs a new contract and doesn’t have to face another election until next summer at the earliest. with gp
