Alexander Schwolow is set to leave Union Berlin for Karlsruher SC on a free transfer after his contract was not extended. Karlsruher SC seeks him as a replacement for Max Weiß, who may move to FC Burnley. Schwolow is attracted by the chance for more playing time and returning to the Southwest. Although Karlsruher SC leads the race, two Bundesliga clubs are also interested. Schwolow joined Union in 2023 from Hertha Berlin as a backup and played seven matches. His potential move to Karlsruhe is promising due to his past success in the 2nd Bundesliga with SC Freiburg.
