Will Niklas Lang stay with TSV 1860 Munich?

The talks are dragging on, but now everything indicates that the central defender will extend in Giesing.

Munich – Niklas Lang has been playing for TSV 1860 Munich since 2014, has gone through all the youth teams and made the leap to the professionals.

But now the jump of the 19-year-old was indicated.

Lang's contract expires in the summer.

Günther Gorenzel had complained about the central defender's salary expectations.

The talks seemed to stagnate.

But now the signs have turned.

Niklas Lang will soon be extending his contract, headlines “dieblaue24.de”.

According to the report, the Löwen managing director is said to have recognized that the club could miss out on a handsome fee if Lang now moves on a free transfer.

It's no secret that teams from the 2nd Bundesliga are interested in Niklas Lang.

Our own research by Fußball Vorort has shown that yes, Niklas Lang and TSV 1860 Munich are well on their way to finding a solution.

The fact that contract poker was mainly about salary requests is probably not entirely true.

The talks were also more harmonious than some reports.

Niklas Lang: Tough talks with 1860?

Many open questions with the lions

So what does it depend on?

The situation at 1860 Munich is still very unclear in May.

Is there still something going on in the fight for promotion?

Will the lions qualify for the DFB Cup?

And: Will Michael Köllner stay?

Lots of open questions.

The coaching question in particular is likely to be particularly relevant for young players.

After all, the factor that may be decisive for the rest of your career depends on it: playing time.

In the spring of 2022, Lang suddenly had to worry about his minutes.

Youngster Leandro Morgalla (17) played the focus and was explicitly emphasized by coach Köllner.

At the same time, Niklas Lang injured his chest and then contracted the coronavirus.

Since Zwickau's brutal foul knocked him out of the game, Lang has not been used in the starting XI.

Long before a new contract with the lions: negotiations with 1860 Munich are coming to an end

But TSV 1860 Munich is said to continue to rely on Lang.

And he also likes to be a lion, according to those around him.

The relationship should not fail due to the difficult phase in spring and the tough planning for the new season.

According to information from Soccer Suburb, the ink on the new contract should be dry in the coming weeks.
