According to 'Bild', Energie Cottbus is interested in Marcel Lotka. The club is searching for a goalkeeper to provide stability, and Lotka is considered one of the most serious candidates for this role. 'Bild' reports that both sides are already in talks. The outcome of these talks is not yet known, but the chances for a successful conclusion are considered significant.

Newly promoted Energie Cottbus and former Dortmund goalkeeper Marcel Lotka are in discussions. Lotka is a 25-year-old German-Polish national. Energie Cottbus is seeking a new primary goalkeeper because their promotion-winning keeper, Marius Funk, departed for VfB Stuttgart. Lotka was recently the backup goalkeeper to Florian Kastenmeier at Fortuna Düsseldorf and is available on a free transfer because his contract was voided following the club's relegation to the 3rd division. Eintracht Braunschweig is also interested in Lotka as a possible replacement if their current goalkeeper, Ron-Thorben Hoffmann, leaves. Lotka made 2 appearances in the 2. Bundesliga for the 2025/2026 season and has 2 caps for the Poland U21 team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €500k.
