- 1. FC Nürnberg confirmed Tuesday it will sign 24-year-old center-back Fynn Otto from SC Verl on a free transfer, with Sky and BILD reporting a contract through 2029.
- Sporting director Joti Chatzialexiou said Otto offers strong passing and game intelligence after a standout season in Germany’s third tier.
