Alexander Schwolow's contract with Union Berlin is set to expire at the end of the season. Having joined Union Berlin on a free transfer from Hertha BSC after terminating his contract there, Schwolow has struggled to secure a spot as the first-choice goalkeeper, remaining mostly as a backup to Frederik Rönnow. With only six appearances and a poor performance record, a contract extension is possible but would require Schwolow to accept significant salary reductions.
