David Kopacz, a 27-year-old German-Pole, is transferring to Hansa Rostock from VfL Osnabrück, a newly promoted second-division side. He will fill the number ten position, which concludes Hansa Rostock's search for an offensive midfielder. The transfer likely ends Hansa's pursuit of Nick Bätzner. Kopacz was not in Osnabrück's squad for their recent match against VfL Bochum. He contributed seven goals to his former club's championship win last season. Kopacz expressed enthusiasm for the new task. He called Hansa a special club and noted that he realized quickly during discussions that the ideas of both sides were a good match. Amir Shapourzadeh, Hansa's sporting director, stated that Kopacz has significant experience from 148 matches in the 3. Liga and that he understands the demands of the league. Shapourzadeh described Kopacz as an attack-minded midfielder who is a goal threat due to his stamina and dynamism. Shapourzadeh also added that decisive factors in bringing Kopacz to Rostock were his versatility and his clear desire to take on the role. Kopacz will wear the number 27 shirt. The midfielder has two caps for the Poland U21 team and has scored one goal. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €350k.
