Merle Frohms: From number 1 at VfL to switch to Real Madrid!

Wolfsburg, Deutschland - The football world looks at one of the most exciting transfers of recent times: Merle Frohms, who until recently was the undisputed number 1 in the goal of VfL Wolfsburg, changes to Real Madrid. [WAZ-Online] reports that Frohms, who played in the wolves from 2012 to 2018 and again from 2022 to 2025, recently signed a contract with the Spanish top club.

Frohms' existence as a regular is a long -past story, as she herself admits. At the beginning of the year, coach Tommy Stroot was surprisingly replaced by Anneke Borbe, who given preference thanks to her advantages on flanks due to her height. The goalkeeper made this decision hard. "I found the decision and its time difficult to understand. I felt calm in the dark," she said about her situation. It was particularly bitter that she was degraded to number 2 after an infection of Lisa.

The departure of Wolksburg and the future in Madrid

Frohms' departure was announced months ago, because her contract at VfL expired on June 30, 2025. While the interest in her increased and a transfer -free move to Madrid was obvious, the club was already looking for a successor and promptly committed Stina Johannes von Eintracht Frankfurt. The goalkeeper is considered great hope to support the squad, especially since she is also part of the DFB team for the upcoming European Championship

The VfL is not only dependent on Johannes. At the same time, the goalkeepers Martina Tufekovic from 1899 Hoffenheim and Christina Schönwetter from First Vienna FC were hired. It is interesting that Anneke Borbe has indicated to leave the club after the end of her contract. Rumors say that she is considering a change to Champions League winner Arsenal.

title and success

It is impressive what Merle Frohms has achieved at VfL in her time. In total, she can look back on 13 titles, including:

• 2x Champions League
• 4x German championship
• 7x DFB Cup

In the DFB jersey, she was able to look forward to EM silver 2022 and Olympic bronze 2024, but only a few months after the Olympic Games she ended her selection career.

Now the focus is completely Real Madrid, where it will fight for the place between the posts with Misa Rodríguez. It remains to be seen whether Frohms can accept this challenge and can assert itself in an international comparison. The change is not only a new beginning for Frohms, but also for VfL Wolfsburg, which will have to reorganize in the coming season.
