Nurnberg want Balitsch

Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Hanno Ballitsch could be about to join Nurnberg.

Out-of-favour Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Hanno Ballitsch could be about to join Nurnberg.

The former Germany Under-21 captain has spent most of the current season on the bench at the BayArena and is hoping that a move will help resurrect his flagging career.

Negotiations between Nurnberg sport director Martin Bader and his Leverkusen counterpart Michael Reschke have reached an advanced stage, but the clubs have not yet found an agreement as to whether Ballitsch should move on loan or be sold.

Nurnberg coach Wolfgang Wolf is keen to bring the 24-year-old to the Frankenstadion to help his team improve an already impressive start to the season.
