Robin Gosens leaves Union Berlin: A farewell full of emotions

Robin Gosens said goodbye to his club, the 1st FC Union Berlin, and his loyal fans. In an emotional contribution to Instagram, the 30-year-old international expressed how difficult the decision was to leave the club-especially on the last day of the transfer window and just before an important game. Despite the challenges, however, he sees the decision as correct, even if he did not want to explain the exact reasons so as not to fall into a justification.

on Friday morning, shortly before the game against FC St. Pauli, Gosens left the team for medical tests, which influenced the preparations for the game. Immediately before the game kicked off, Union Berlin's managing director Horst Heldt confirmed that the change of left -back to the Italian first division club AC Florence was carried out.

personal motives for the change

Gosens, who had the opportunity to follow his “biggest lifelong bundesliga” at Union, looked back on his time with the Berliners with mixed feelings. The season had not run as hoped, but his last minutes at the club described a climax in his career. In particular, the dramatic victory against SC Freiburg in the last minute remains unforgettable. The converted margin of Janik Haberer, who preserved Union from the impending relegation, was an emotional experience for him that will be remembered.

Horst Heldt explained that personal reasons were behind Gosens' decision. The player had already signaled that he was ready for a change as soon as there was a suitable opportunity. For Heldt it was therefore logical to have a player pulled who is dissatisfied and can no longer be fully convinced in the club.

With this step, Gosens closes a chapter in his career, which brought many ups and downs. As the most expensive purchase in the history of the club, he left crucial moments and a special time in the heart of many fans. His departure to Florence is not only a change to a new league, but also symbolizes the urge of a player to take the next big step in his career.
