The first departure from FSV Mainz for the coming summer is already certain: Finn Dahmen will leave the 05ers!

Finn Dahmen would have liked to have turned his back on FSV Mainz this summer and joined FC Augsburg. However, Christian Heidel vetoed it and decided that Dahmen would remain on Bruchweg - as number two behind Robin Zentner.

Dahmen is not satisfied with this role in the long run, which is why he has already announced that he will leave Mainz in the summer of 2023 - when his contract ends. "I have decided not to extend my contract in Mainz and to take a new step," announced the 24-year-old to Sport Bild. "The main reason is that I want to play. I've waited long enough, but the way to number one in Mainz is blocked with Robin Zentner."

According to the sports magazine, Dahmen has already informed those responsible in Mainz of his decision - so there will be no contract offer from the 05ers in the first place. "My path should definitely lead me to a club that sees me as number one," Dahmen made clear of his ambitions. FC Augsburg should continue to be a hot spot for the goalkeeper.
