😂 He takes it with good humour, Bundesliga club teases transfer expert | OneFootball

As the Who's Who of German transfer journalism, 'Sky' reporter Florian Plettenberg has made a name for himself in recent years. Even though the 37-year-old hasn't always been right, he has managed to land quite a few major scoops.

But one thing continues to puzzle football fans on social media: Why on earth does the transfer titan announce even the smallest news about a third-division player in English? The sentiment: Which Unterhaching fan doesn't speak German?

This observation, which has now become a meme, was also used by FSV Mainz 05 on Deadline Day. At 9:09 PM, the Rhinelanders tweeted directly at the newsbreaker and cheekily asked: “Hello @Plettigoal, do you have some information about Scharoldo Becker?

I’m a huge fan of Mainz 05 from the British Virgin Islands and very curious about it!"

Plettenberg's 'Sky' colleague Patrick Berger jumped on the bandwagon, calling himself a "big Mainz fan from Bhutan."

Plettenberg himself took it all in good humor and replied: “Greetings to the British Virgin Islands. I really like 1. FSV Mainz 05..."

Just 22 minutes later, Mainz officially announced the Becker deal.
