Lennard Maloney was important in FC Heidenheim’s promotion to the Bundesliga, but the midfielder could reportedly be representing the club for only a few more months.
Maloney has yet to accept Heidenheim’s contract extension, Sky Sports Germany reported Tuesday. Heidenheim offered Maloney a new contract last summer, but the 24-year-old looks set to depart the club as early as January.
Heidenheim would reportedly demand roughly €3-4 million, according to the report.
Maloney moved to Heidenheim from Borussia Dortmund in 2022 and featured in both the 2. Bundesliga and Bundesliga divisions. He’s scored two goals and registered two assists in 80 combined appearances to date, making his European debut in the UEFA Conference League.
Born in Berlin, Maloney debuted for the U.S. men’s national team in October 2023 and has earned two caps since.
Heidenheim sits 14th in the Bundesliga and resumes play on Saturday against reigning league champions Bayer Leverkusen.
