FC Nürnberg are eyeing a ‘million-euro bonus’ this summer as Casper Zander continues to perform well at Southampton.
This is according to BILD. The German newspaper has today reported on the 22-year-old and how Nürnberg could make extra profit on his €12m sale last summer.
Zander joined Southampton in the summer on a €12m deal. This was already a huge gain for the German club, who signed him on a free transfer in 2024.
Before that he had been traveling around Germany, playing for Dortmund Youth, Schalke Youth and MSV Duisburg.

However, it appears the central midfielder has found his feet at Southampton. He has made 31 appearances in all competitions so far and has impressed statistically
His pass completion is around 90% and his completion percentage in defensive duels is 98%. Those ‘figures’ have caught the attention of potential contenders.
According to information from BILD, RB Leipzig and VfB Stuttgart are ‘particularly interested’ in him. Both of them would be happy to take him back to Germany this summer.
Ajax have also previously expressed interest. Various interested parties are reportedly discussing a move worth €20–25 million.

Those committing suicide have been encouraged by gender. He is also said to be unhappy with the saints. Firstly, because promotion to the Premier League is almost impossible.
Secondly, he is also unhappy with his personal life. He lives in England without his girlfriend, boxer Carlotta Schuenemann. This is likely to increase his desire to leave his job and settle somewhere else.
A move of that magnitude would be very meaningful for Nuremberg. The German side secured a 10% sell-on clause from Southampton when they sold him last summer.
This means they could be in line for a ‘million-euro bonus’ if a move is made. There is certainly a feeling at the club that they are very likely to receive another payment for Zander this summer.
