"On January 16, 2025, Tolkin transferred to
Bundesliga club
Holstein Kiel for a
transfer fee of $3 million including a sell on fee.
[22] A day after the signing, due to outcry from some fans, the club released a statement in which Tolkin distanced himself again from his controversial social media likes, maintaining they are incompatible with his personal values and that he respects all people.
[23] Tolkin had previously liked social media posts mocking the
LGBTQ community, critical of the response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, questioning the existence of gravity and the
January 6 United States Capitol attack and supporting
flat Earth beliefs.
[24][25] Tolkin had also previously apologized for the behavior in a
CBS Golazo interview during the
2024 Olympic games.
