Jimmy Kaparos is not part of Rot-Weiss Essen's plans anymore and has been allowed to search for a new club despite having a contract until 2026. He joined Rot-Weiss Essen from the U23 team of FC Schalke 04 before the last season and was expected to replace Vinko Sapina, who moved to Dresden. Kaparos did not meet these expectations, having made 28 league appearances with one assist. Currently, Transfermarkt estimates his market worth at 175,000 euros.
