FC Erzgebirge Aue can keep goalscorer Marcel Bär despite their relegation from the 3rd division. The 33-year-old will complete a fourth season with the Veilchen, as the club announced. Bär moved to the Erzgebirge from 1860 Munich in 2023 and has scored 41 competitive goals to date.
"I didn't want to say goodbye to relegation. When we won the Saxon Cup, we saw once again what makes this club and its fans so special. I feel a great deal of trust and appreciation here, which is why it quickly became clear to me that I wanted to continue on this path together," said Bär, who himself scored the decisive goal in the 2-0 win against FSV Zwickau.
