Nadiem Amiri has definitively addressed speculation about his future, confirming his intention to remain with Mainz 05 for the upcoming 2026/27 Bundesliga season. The 29-year-old midfielder recently garnered media attention and some criticism from the club's fanbase due to his initial hesitation to fully commit to the Rheinhessen before the new Bundesliga campaign.

The German international, aged 29, made this public declaration on Saturday evening during an engagement with supporters at Mainz's training retreat in Kirchbichl, Austria. Amiri dispelled all rumors suggesting he was contemplating a transfer to RB Leipzig.

Amiri's Pledge to Mainz 05 Supporters

“I received numerous offers, but my family and I concluded that I would certainly remain here,” Amiri stated, to resounding applause from the gathered Mainz fans.

Amiri's current contract with Mainz extends until the summer of 2028. Since his arrival from Leverkusen in January 2024, the midfielder has become a pivotal player for the club and has solidified his position as a senior German international.

This decision is a substantial positive development for head coach Urs Fischer as the new season approaches. Mainz will retain a key creative force, an experienced leader, and one of the team's most effective midfielders.
