Kevin Volland, a former DFB player, is currently earning the most money at Union Berlin despite playing only five minutes in the Bundesliga this season. Union Berlin is looking to manage finances by possibly selling players before acquiring new ones.

Kevin Volland, who previously played for the national team, is not presently included in Union Berlin's squad and has been alternating between the bench and the stands. Even after recuperating from a knee surgery and returning to the field in a cup match, he has yet to participate in a league game. While a swift transfer during the winter seems improbable, it is anticipated that discussions regarding his future at the club will need to take place by summer if his sporting opportunities do not enhance. His contract extends until 2026.
