SV Waldhof Mannheim: Has Osnabrück sent a scout to Alsenweg?
Rumors of VfL Osnabrück interest in Waldhof talent
SV Waldhof Mannheim is currently in preparation for the second half of the season. The winter break is coming to an end, and the Blue and Blacks will start the training camp in Belek, Turkey, on Monday. One player who could be missing from the squad is 19-year-old striker Maurice Deville. According to the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung", VfL Osnabrück is interested in signing the striker.
Deville has made 16 appearances for Waldhof this season, scoring four goals. He is a German youth international and has represented his country at U19 level. Osnabrück is currently 16th in the 3rd division, just four points above the relegation zone. The club is looking to strengthen its squad in the January transfer window, and Deville is seen as a potential target.
Waldhof is reluctant to let Deville go
However, Waldhof is reluctant to let Deville go. The club sees him as a key player for the future, and they are not willing to sell him for a low price. It is believed that Osnabrück would have to pay a transfer fee of around €500,000 to sign Deville.
It remains to be seen whether Osnabrück will be willing to pay that price. The club is under financial pressure, and it is unlikely that they will want to spend a large sum of money on a player who is unproven at the professional level.
If Deville does leave Waldhof, it will be a blow to the club. He is a talented young player with a lot of potential. However, Waldhof knows that they cannot stand in his way if he wants to move to a bigger club.
The transfer window closes on January 31st, so there is still time for Osnabrück to make a move for Deville. However, it seems unlikely that Waldhof will be willing to sell him for a low price.
