German defensive midfielder Marcel Benger, 28, was not offered a new contract by Preußen Münster and has been without a club since July 1. His previous contract, which was only valid for the 2. Liga, expired on June 30. His current market value is €500k, according to Transfermarkt. Marcel Benger stated that he is remaining calm and is convinced he will find a new club, but that he needs some patience because there is not much movement in the scene at the moment, partly due to the ongoing World Cup. Benger also said he could have imagined staying at Preußen Münster, but he realized he had to reorient himself after not hearing from the club for two or three weeks after the last game and following a short final discussion. He stated that he would prefer to join a 2. Liga club again but would also consider offers from ambitious 3. Liga clubs. Benger said that his agent is conducting negotiations and will inform him once something becomes more concrete.
