FC Erzgebirge Aue has already made a transfer in the defensive midfield area before the Saxony derby versus Dynamo Dresden. The Erzgebirge squad has secured the services of Ali Loune from 1. FC Nürnberg on a temporary basis. The 22-year-old midfielder showcased his skills during his trial and will be stepping in to replace Can Öztürk, who is currently injured.
"Our initial assessments aligned with our previous investigations and video surveillance. He also gels well with us on a personal level, and we're thrilled he agreed to join us in Loßnitztal," shared sporting director Matthias Heidrich, expressing gratitude towards the Franconians for their "professional handling of the loan arrangement."
Originally from Hanau, Loune progressed through Eintracht Frankfurt's youth setup before inking a professional deal with "the team" and making six appearances in the 2. Bundesliga till now. This season, the 1.80m tall Loune only featured in the Regionalliga for Nürnberg and is now eager to seize his chance in the 3. Liga.
The arrival of Loune from Nürnberg is expected to boost the Moritzbachtal Stadion's atmosphere, especially during the upcoming Saxony derby against Dynamo Dresden. Regardless of Loune's prior experiences with Eintracht Frankfurt and 1. FC Nürnberg, his current focus is on making a significant impact with FC Erzgebirge Aue.
