Overview
- Nicolai Rapp, whose signing Dynamo Dresden confirmed on Friday, has joined the club as a defensive midfield signing to fill the gap left by Kofi Amoako.
- Reports say Rapp arrived from Karlsruher SC initially on a free transfer with local media noting KSC may still expect a later payment tied to the deal.
- Sporting director Sören Gonther described Rapp as a player who knows the 2. Bundesliga well and can bring stability and offensive impetus to Dynamo’s build‑up play.
- Italian right‑back Simon Straudi is reported by national media as Dynamo’s next target, with a two‑year contract and a medical still pending and the player eyed as backup to Jonas Sterner.
- The moves reflect Dynamo’s summer plan to add experienced, low‑cost reinforcements to shore up midfield and full‑back depth and could help preserve younger players’ development while keeping wage and transfer outlay limited.
