SC Freiburg's ÖFB star Kevin Lienhart is linked with a move to Italy. The 28-year-old defender is reportedly in the sights of top Italian clubs. Lienhart, who played 29 Bundesliga games last season, could take the next step in his career. Freiburg currently sits 8th in the Bundesliga with 40 points (11 wins, 7 draws, 11 losses).
The Austrian, who has been with SC Freiburg since 2018, has established himself as a reliable defender. With 42 goals scored and 47 conceded last season (-5 goal difference), the team showed a solid defense. Lienhart could now move to an Italian club playing in the Champions League. His contract in Freiburg runs until 2027.
SC Freiburg faces a potential departure of a key player. Lienhart is not only an important defensive player but also a leader in the team. If the transfer goes through, the club will need to find a replacement. The next match for Freiburg is on February 13, 2027, against Eintracht Frankfurt (7th place).
Negotiations are still ongoing, but rumors about Lienhart persist. SC Freiburg will have to make a decision in the coming weeks. The team is 36 points behind league leaders Bayern Munich, facing a challenging season.
