Overview
- Transfermarkt, Sky and national outlets report that Preußen Münster and SC Paderborn have reached an agreement and that a routine medical is set for Thursday before a formal signing.
- Multiple sources say the transfer fee is about €400,000 and that the contract on offer would run until summer 2029.
- Batista Meier, a former FC Bayern youth player who made his Bundesliga debut in May 2020, was Preußen Münster’s top scorer last season with six goals and four assists.
- He still had a contract at Münster through 2027 with an optional extra year, and reports plus a player statement say the club’s relegation to the 3. Liga prompted his move.
- Paderborn’s capture would be their second signing from Münster this window and fits the club’s pattern of recruiting young, technically gifted players to develop and potentially sell on later.
