"The sale of Jens once again emphasises that we have a strong model and pathway to sending players on to the biggest leagues in Europe, because this is the natural next step if you perform for FCK.
"We wish Jens all the best in the future and look forward to following his development down in Germany."
For Stage, leaving FCK comes at the right time but not without sadness.
"I have had a fantastic time at FCK with some really talented teammates, coaching staff at the highest level and fans as good as any on an international level – all of who have helped to prepare me for one of the big leagues," says Stage.
"It is sad to say goodbye because I have had so many great experiences here. I have played European football, won the championship, made my Denmark debut and developed a lot. With the championship secured, I also think that the timing is right for me now.
"It was important to me that I helped secure the club that title before I moved on. Many thanks to everyone for my time in FCK."
Everyone at FCK thanks Jens for his efforts at the club and wish him all the best in the future.
