Thilo Töpken has transferred from Alemannia Aachen to MSV Duisburg. The move followed Alemannia Aachen's decision to bolster their forward positions, which subsequently decreased Töpken's opportunities for playtime. The contract between Töpken and Alemannia Aachen was terminated by mutual agreement. Duisburg's squad planner, Chris Schmoldt, indicated that the club had been monitoring Töpken for some time, especially during his period at Rödinghausen. Additionally, Duisburg's head coach, Dietmar Hirsch, expressed his excitement about the new addition to their offensive lineup. Töpken is eager to make a positive impact on the team.
