Philipp Wendt (27) will leave Chemie Leipzig and join Carl Zeiss Jena. His departure is both a sporting and human loss. Wendt is a leading player in the team and finding a replacement for him will be a challenge. He wanted to maximize his potential under professional conditions, which was one of the main reasons for the transfer. He will not move, but will stay in Leipzig. He will miss Leutzsch, but he is also looking forward to the new challenge that awaits him in Jena.
