Tom Rothe has transferred to Union Berlin from Borussia Dortmund. This move comes as Union Berlin braces for the possible exit of another player. Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund has reopened a previously closed position on the flanks. Rothe returns to Borussia Dortmund after a successful one-year loan spell at Holstein Kiel. He initially joined Borussia Dortmund from FC St. Pauli in 2021. The transfer fee for Rothe is set at five million euros, with Borussia Dortmund retaining a buy-back option. The contract length with Union Berlin remains undisclosed. This acquisition is partly a strategic move by Union Berlin in anticipation of Robin Gosens' potential departure.

Tom Rothe is on the verge of a transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Union Berlin. The transfer fee is around five million euros. Borussia Dortmund has secured a buy-back option. The 19-year-old has already left the training camp in Bad Ragaz and is on his way to Berlin. At Borussia, he has no prospects because Julian Ryerson, Ramy Bensebaini, and newcomer Yan Couto are ahead of him in the full-back ranking. He could get more playing time in Berlin-Köpenick.
