Lucas Zeller joins Preußen Münster after Schweinfurt relegation

Lucas Zeller leaves 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 after their 3. Liga relegation to join Preußen Münster in the same league. The defender completes a swift transfer within days of his former club’s drop.

Preußen Münster’s sporting director Markus Rejek highlights Zeller’s resilience as a key factor in the signing. Rejek states Zeller has proven his ability to adapt and perform despite setbacks, calling it a strength rather than a weakness.

Zeller, 28, provides depth in defense after injuries to first-choice center-backs Jonas Kaltwasser and Tim Danhof. The club has prioritized securing a replacement to maintain competitiveness in the league.

Preußen Münster currently sit 12th in the 3. Liga standings after 20 matches. The signing of Zeller reflects the club’s proactive approach to squad management during the winter transfer window.

Zeller’s arrival adds competition for starting roles alongside experienced defenders such as Marcel Ndjeng and Tim Danhof. The club aims to strengthen its defensive line before the season’s second half resumes in January.

The transfer is finalized ahead of the January transfer deadline. Preußen Münster will look to build on their mid-table position with the new addition.
