Hallescher FC have signed 27-year-old German winger Osman Atilgan to improve their offense and strengthen their wing positions. Sporting boss Marian Unger said that a need arose after the departure of Abdoul Karim Soumah. Unger also stated that the club had previously been interested in Atilgan and an agreement has now been reached. He further commented that the player has significant experience, knows the league, and is already familiar with some members of the squad, having previously played for Lok Leipzig and Dynamo Dresden. Atilgan joined as a free agent, having been without a club since July 2026. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €125k.
