Ab Sommer im Jena-Trikot? Almuth Schult soll vom Hamburger SV kommen.

This is unexpected! - Promoted Bundesliga club close to major signing

The champion of Germany six times, with eight cups from DFB and winner of the Champions League seems to be heading towards Jena!

Previously, Schult played against Jena in the 2nd League. After her stint in Los Angeles, she joined Hamburg SV in April 2024. This was possible because of a new FIFA rule that permits players to sign contracts outside the transfer window after pregnancy. Schult is now the mother of three.

Schult failed in promoting with HSV

However, she couldn't help HSV promote – Jena and Potsdam made their way back to the top division. And Schult yearns to reclaim that spot. In the summer of 2022, she moved away from VfL Wolfsburg to the USA.

Is Schult heading to Jena now?

Schult is also a prominent TV commentator. For ARD and DAZN, she provides analysis mostly for women's football, while also engaging in major men's tournaments.
