Union Berlin has shown interest in acquiring Elias Bethke from Energie Cottbus. Berliner Kurier reported that Bethke is considered one of the leading goalkeepers in the 3. Liga and could serve as a backup for Frederik Rönnow at Union Berlin. His agent, Benjamin Heidlberger, revealed to Lausitzer Rundschau that, as of now, there is no concrete offer from Union Berlin. Bethke is contracted with Cottbus until 2027, and any transfer would likely involve a fee in the millions. The 22-year-old goalkeeper has demonstrated his consistency and skill by playing in all 36 matches this season. With Energie Cottbus's chances of promotion dimming due to recent poor results, Bethke may be contemplating a move to further his career. Standing at 1.91 meters, he could become a future star for Union Berlin, providing a dependable backup option behind the team's current first-choice goalkeeper.
