According to BILD, Kilian Sauck is reportedly leaving the club because his salary of approximately 20,000 euros per month does not match his performances and the new division.

Sauck joined the club on February 2, 2026, and his contract is valid until June 30, 2029. He has been capped three times for the Germany U19 team. His current Transfermarkt market value is €400k. In the 2025/2026 season, he made 20 appearances in the Regionalliga West, scoring two goals and providing two assists, and also made three appearances in the 2. Bundesliga.
