Bild reports on the transfer of Maurice Krattenmacher to Bundesliga newcomer Elversberg. German attacking midfielder Maurice Krattenmacher, 20, will not remain in Berlin and is instead moving to Bundesliga newcomer Elversberg. Krattenmacher had been on loan at Hertha BSC from Bayern for a season. Hertha's coach, Stefan Leitl, would have liked to keep the U20 national player, but negotiations for a permanent move failed. This followed the coach not being completely satisfied with the player's training performances towards the end of the season, which resulted in him being used mostly as a substitute.
Elversberg is now buying Krattenmacher from Bayern for a single-digit million sum. During his loan season at Hertha, he made 22 appearances and scored 1 goal in the 2. Bundesliga. The German youth international has 12 caps and 1 goal for the U20 team. His current market value is €3.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
