The upheaval at VfL Bochum has taken on enormous proportions after the club managed to stay in the Bundesliga. One departure has not yet been found.

VfL Bochum has 14 departures to report so far after staying in the Bundesliga. Some players like Armel Bella Kotchap or Maxim Leitsch could not be kept, others had no future in Bochum,

Until recently, there were only two of the 14 departures who have not yet found a club. Now, with Herbert Bockhorn, there is only one. The reason for this is that attacker Jürgen Locadia, who was only active for VfL for six months, is moving to Iran. VfL is said to have made an offer to extend the contract, but apparently Locadia had other plans.

The departures of VfL Bochum

Locadia signed for Persepolis FC, runners-up in the previous season, on a one-year contract. The club is looking forward to signing a player who has played in the Premier League, the Bundesliga and the Dutch league.

With a market value of two million euros, the former PSV Eindhoven or TSG Hoffenheim player is immediately the player with the highest market value in his new team.

The striker may be in for a cold start, as his new club’s first game of the season is on Saturday – away to Zob Ahan Isfahan for their first league points.
