After long negotiations, Rot-Weiss Essen has reached an agreement with Kaiserslautern for Dickson Abiama. According to BILD information, Abiama will sign a contract until 2028 with an option for one more year, for a base transfer fee of around €50,000 which can increase through bonuses. WAZ was the first to report the deal. Abiama will undergo his medical check on Monday afternoon, with the final signature on his contract expected the following day.

According to Bild, negotiations are ongoing for Dickson Abiama's potential permanent transfer to Rot-Weiss Essen. Rot-Weiss Essen, which had Abiama on loan from Kaiserslautern in the previous season, would like to sign the player permanently, but negotiations are currently difficult. Kaiserslautern does not appear to be planning with Abiama, as he is currently training with the U21 team and not the first team. For a transfer to occur, Rot-Weiss Essen would have to pay a transfer fee, or Abiama would have to terminate his contract. He is under contract at Kaiserslautern until 2027.

Dickson Abiama, a Nigerian and German striker, is leaving 1. FC Kaiserslautern and joining third-division club Rot-Weiss Essen on a loan deal. The agreement includes a purchase option for the 27-year-old, valued at approximately €150,000, which can be activated if Rot-Weiss Essen achieves promotion. Abiama joined Kaiserslautern in January 2024 and his contract there runs until June 2027. In the 2. Bundesliga this season, he has made 10 appearances without scoring a goal or providing an assist. His current market value is €350k.
