Anthony Jung, a 33-year-old defender from Werder Bremen, has transferred to SC Freiburg on a free transfer. The transfer was confirmed a day after initial reports of Freiburg's interest. Jung expressed enthusiasm upon learning about the opportunity to join Freiburg, describing the discussions as very positive. He has been offered a one-year contract according to kicker information.

According to Kicker, SC Freiburg is actively pursuing Anthony Jung to bolster their central defense. The club is on the lookout for an experienced backup in this position and has targeted Jung as the ideal candidate. The 33-year-old, who has spent the last four years with Bremen, is currently available on a free transfer. Freiburg is keen to fill a defensive gap promptly, and Jung is considered a suitable choice following his release from Werder Bremen at the season's end. Jung, who led the league in tackling last season with a 67.4% success rate, is anticipated to join Freiburg as a reinforcement after Manuel Gulde's retirement due to ongoing back problems. Gulde, a dependable figure in Freiburg's defense, concluded his career after spending nine years with the team. Freiburg is eager to complete the transfer quickly, with Jung set to become the sole left-footer among their central defenders, thereby strengthening their defensive lineup alongside established players such as Matthias Ginter and Philipp Lienhart. The club has already secured three new offensive signings, demonstrating their proactive stance in the transfer market.
