Rayan Philippe's anticipated transfer to Mainz has been canceled at the final stage, according to reports from Sky's Florian Plettenberg.
Mainz has been active in the transfer market, having signed two players over the weekend. Despite a verbal agreement in place, Philippe will not be joining the club.
The player expressed disappointment over the failed move, as he was eager to join Mainz. A transfer fee between €2 million and €2.5 million had been discussed with Eintracht Braunschweig, but further negotiations did not yield a consensus between the clubs.
Earlier today, Mainz secured the signing of striker Benedict Hollerbach from Union Berlin. Philippe had a productive season, scoring 14 goals, including a crucial goal in Braunschweig's playoff victory that ensured their status in the 2. Bundesliga.
Other clubs, including Hamburger SV and Werder Bremen, have also shown interest in the 24-year-old French striker. Braunschweig is expected to explore opportunities to sell the player before his contract expires at the end of next season.
