Deadline Day at VfB Lübeck: Central defender urgently wanted!
September 1, 2025 is a significant day in the football world: it is Deadline Day, the final date for transfers in the professional leagues. VfB Lübeck has been through a lot in the last few weeks, and despite the hectic activities that day, the regional league team currently remains without new reinforcements. Sports director Sebastian Harms says that the team is still looking for a central defender to fill the gaps in the squad. After a challenging preparation and a positive week in which VfB collected seven points, those responsible are relaxed about squad planning. ( ln online )
On the offensive, assistant coach Pierre Becken is an important factor and was able to produce strong performances in the last games, especially in the DFB Cup against Darmstadt 98 and against Hannover 96 II. New signing Yehor Melenivskyi recently celebrated his debut in the regional league in Oldenburg and has established himself as an alternative in the squad. The 22-year-old Noah Andreas, who can play versatilely in defensive midfield and central defense, could be a valuable addition. He has already played 54 games in the Regionalliga for Borussia Mönchengladbach II and Hamburger SV II and is currently out of contract, giving him the opportunity to be signed until January 31, 2026.
Looking forward to the DFB Cup game
An exciting duel is coming up on Saturday: VfB Lübeck will meet the higher-class team Darmstadt 98 in the DFB Cup. The city's social pulse is beating quickly, as 7,539 tickets have already been sold and there are still tickets available. The anticipation is palpable and the players are highly motivated to finally show what they can do. Central defender Luca Menke expressed optimism in the run-up to the game and promised: “We will run, run, run and run.” The team wants to preserve their chance in the underdog duel against Darmstadt.

After a painful 4-0 defeat against Oldenburg, the motivation is particularly high to work through the last mistakes and prepare for a strong opponent like Darmstadt 98, who started the season well. Menke sees the opponents' strengths, but would not ignore their weaknesses either. “It is important to act strongly defensively and take advantage of our opportunities,” he explains.
The spectators in the stadium will be a crucial element in this game. The players are aware that the support of the fans provides additional motivation. With the right effort and a strategic approach, VfB Lübeck hopes to cause a surprise in the DFB Cup.
