After six years, three cup victories, and almost 200 competitive matches for Hallescher FC, Jonas Nietfeld is unexpectedly without a contract as his old one expired and he is not offered a new one due to budget constraints and the new coach's plans. Coach Robert Schröder intended to use Nietfeld in a different position, but the club has no financial leeway for him in that role. Officially, the decision is not final, but Nietfeld is exploring other options. Currently, Transfermarkt estimates his market worth at 175k euros.
