Energie Cottbus brings in talented Straudi and cup finalist Biankadi!

In a surprising move, Energie Cottbus has signed two new players: Simon Straudi and Merveille Biankadi. Both footballers were recently without a club and can therefore move to Cottbus even after the transfer window closes. Coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz is optimistic that the new signings will significantly strengthen the team.

Simon Straudi, the 26-year-old right-back, is the first Italian in the history of FC Energie Cottbus. In his youth he moved from FC Südtirol to Werder Bremen, but was unable to play in a competitive game there. After a time at Austria Klagenfurt, where his contract was not extended following relegation from the Bundesliga, he is now returning to Germany. During his time in Austria, Straudi played 89 games and provided eight assists. He had already impressed in training at Cottbus, which led to a quick agreement in the negotiations.

Experienced reinforcement for the offensive

The Munich native has a total of 207 third division games and six appearances in the second division (with Heidenheim). In the last two seasons he was active for Arminia Bielefeld. There he scored 19 goals in 77 games and prepared seven more. Biankadi was also part of the squad that reached the final of the DFB Cup and celebrated promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga. However, his contract in Bielefeld was not extended.

Biankadi will strengthen Cottbus' offense and help increase the team's opportunities in the league. Coach Wollitz emphasizes that he wanted to sign an experienced player for the wing. Biankadi, who comes from FC Bayern Munich's youth team, could be used in the upcoming game against Erzgebirge Aue in the third division on September 18th.
