SC Freiburg loses Merlin Röhl to Everton
The 20-year-old Merlin Röhl is leaving SC Freiburg to join Everton permanently. The defender, who spent last season on loan in England, will now be signed on a permanent deal. For Freiburg, this means saying goodbye to a promising talent.
Röhl impressed during his loan spell at Everton with his defensive presence. The English club has now secured his services on a permanent basis. For Freiburg, this is a financial gain but a sporting loss.
With Röhl leaving, SC Freiburg loses an important player who made 13 Bundesliga appearances last season. The team currently sits in 7th place with 47 points (13 wins, 8 draws, 13 losses) and must now fill a gap in defense.
The Freiburgers need to find a replacement for Röhl. Their next match is on July 24, 2026, against Derby. With a record of 2 wins, 0 draws, and 3 losses in their last 5 games (LLWWL), they need to stabilize their defense.
