Germany's Marius Bülter has become a new Hoffenheim player, and Hoffenheim had the originality to announce his signing in a very curious way. The player, who broke a stadium corner flag in a Schalke 04 shirt, turned up at the club's offices with one fixed with duct tape.
Hoffenheim have featured in one of the most original announcements ever made to communicate the arrival of a footballer. The German club surprised their fans with a very special video of Marius Bulter.
Playing for Schalke 04, relegated to the German second division, his new signing broke a corner flag at the PreZero Arena last season in a collision with Ozan Kabak.
The German showed up at the club's offices with a corner flag already reconstructed with duct tape and apologised for what he had done. A curious way to announce a signing.
Ozan Kabak himself, who was involved in that action, welcomed his new teammate on social media. Bulter signs for Hoffenheim until 2026.
