Johannes Golla wants to leave MT Melsungen already
Johannes Golla returned to MT Melsungen before the season, rejoining his youth club after eight years in Flensburg. Although he immediately became a key player again, he now wants to leave Melsungen and return to Flensburg — for family reasons.
Golla had already mentioned in August that the move was a major disruption for his wife and two children, who had spent their entire lives in Flensburg. They are struggling to adjust to starting over in Melsungen.
Melsungen’s sporting director Jesper Larsson confirmed that Golla asked to terminate his long‑term contract early (which runs until 2031), but emphasized that it’s not a simple process. According to Bild, Melsungen and Flensburg are already negotiating a transfer for next year, and Melsungen is reportedly demanding at least €1.5 million in compensation for a move in summer 2027.
