The first half year at FCN was sluggish for Jens Castrop. After moving to Nuremberg on loan from the second team of 1. FC Köln in winter 2022, he only made five short appearances in the 2nd division.
But in the current season, the 19-year-old trumps! Castrop was used in 14 of the 15 competitive games – most recently he was in the starting XI for ten times in a row. All the better for Glubb that he also secured a purchase option for the talent in the loan deal: Loud picture– Nürnberg can sign the midfielder for a slim 1.5 million euros. Quite feasible for the FCN.
“I’ve tried to work my way in and I’m obviously very happy that I’m getting my match practice now. I’ve really collected a lot of appearances and I hope that I can continue to impress, build on that and develop further,” said Castrop about his development the last few weeks.
The career of the 19-year-old is also being followed closely at 1. FC Köln. Because if Nuremberg pulls the purchase option for Castrop, from Effzeh’s point of view not everything would be lost: For the future, the billy goats should have a buyback option (in a previously unknown amount).
“Thomas Kessler [Kölns Leiter der Lizenzspielabteilung] is responsible for me. I spoke to him recently and so far I’ve only had positive things from him,” said Castrop about his communication with the people of Cologne. “I should continue like this and stay tuned.”
