Mainz 05 boss Christian Heidel has made it clear that the club will not lose any of its top players this summer – and he remains hopeful for Stefan Posch's return. Despite speculation surrounding Nadiem Amiri, Kaishu Sano and Paul Nebel, Heidel stays optimistic. The team finished the 2025 season in 9th place in the Bundesliga with 33 points (8 wins, 9 draws, 12 losses).
What did Heidel say about potential departures?
Heidel emphasized that there would be no "horror scenario" where all three players leave. "We have clear plans and want to keep our squad stable," he said. The return of Posch, who is recovering from an injury, would be a crucial step.
Why is Posch so important for Mainz 05?
The 29-year-old defender is a key figure in the defense. With 44 goals conceded last season (35 scored), the team needs experienced players like Posch to stabilize. His comeback could significantly strengthen the defense.
What's next for Mainz 05?
The next match is on February 6, 2027, against Eintracht Frankfurt (away game). Frankfurt is currently in 7th place. Heidel remains confident that the team can start the new season successfully with stable squad planning.
