Overview
- Lok Leipzig confirmed the signing of 19-year-old goalkeeper Felix Daffner from RB Leipzig on a contract initially through 2027 and assigned him shirt number 40.
- New head coach Torsten Ziegner led an intensive first training session on Wednesday as he began evaluating the squad and four trialists for possible signings.
- Local reports say negotiations for 26-year-old striker Ricky Bornschein are well advanced, though the transfer has not been officially confirmed by the club.
- Squad depth is urgent after roughly ten players left and several injuries; forward Malik McLemore is scheduled for surgery on July 3 which will sideline him into the recovery phase.
- Sporting director Toni Wachsmuth framed the moves as the start of rebuilding with the explicit aim of returning Lok to the top of the Regionalliga Nordost and pushing for promotion.
