😳 He was set to leave, now Mainz’s young star is suddenly in demand | OneFootball

In recent days, there has been quite a lot of talk about Nelson Weiper. According to media reports, there were even suggestions that the Mainz player might leave the club. Because his contract situation had not yet been resolved, he missed both the cup match against Dynamo Dresden and the Conference League qualifier against Rosenborg Trondheim.

Today, before the Bundesliga match against Cologne, there was a turnaround: As Christian Heidel announced, "in very open discussions with Nelly and his management over the past few days, we have found a common path and will soon formalize this in a new contract."

But that’s not all! The striker was needed just a few minutes into the new Bundesliga season. Benedict Hollerbach had to leave the field due to injury. Weiper came on for him.

Weiper had made a name for himself at the U21 European Championship with four goals. Will he be able to confirm that performance this season with Mainz?
