1. FC Köln is reportedly interested in acquiring Marcel Lotka from Dortmund II. The 23-year-old is regarded as one of the top goalkeepers in the 3rd league and could potentially transfer for free in the summer. When asked about the possibility of the goalkeeper leaving BVB, the Sporting Director Ingo Preuß expressed his concern that it might happen, but he was confident that Lotka would find a suitable club. Lotka, who joined Dortmund in the summer of 2022, is a regular member of the Champions League squad and has made ten appearances in the Bundesliga for Hertha BSC.
