Marcel Lotka is seeking a new challenge, and fussball.news has reported that he is currently most likely to join Augsburg. Lotka is officially a player of Borussia Dortmund, with a contract that runs until June 30, 2025. The contract has not been renewed, and there are no significant signs that the parties will continue their collaboration. Lotka is presently the third-choice goalkeeper under Nuri Şahin, which does not align with his ambitions. Reports suggest that Augsburg is at the forefront in the pursuit to sign the goalkeeper, offering him the potential for regular appearances, a factor crucial to his decision.

Marcel Lotka, who is currently the third-choice goalkeeper at Borussia Dortmund, has expressed interest in making a return to the Bundesliga. Although he has been primarily playing in the 3rd League, he previously gained Bundesliga experience with Hertha BSC. FC Augsburg has shown interest in acquiring him for the upcoming season, following earlier interest from Heidenheim. The current goalkeeping scenario at Augsburg includes Nediljko Labrovic as the first-choice goalkeeper, who has yet to fully convince the team, and Finn Dahmen, who may be dissatisfied with his role as the second choice. Additionally, the contract of Daniel Klein, Augsburg's existing third-choice goalkeeper, is set to expire in the summer.
