Marvin Ducksch will remain at Birmingham City after negotiations for his loan to Valencia until June 30 failed at the final stage. While Diario AS had reported his arrival was imminent, Tribuna Deportiva reported that the deal had collapsed. The deal was at a very advanced stage, with Valencia and Birmingham completing the final details of the loan. However, the English club informed Valencia on Tuesday afternoon that it was no longer possible to complete the deal due to timing issues. Birmingham had planned to finalize the player's departure early in the afternoon, but Valencia's response was delayed. AS stated that the delay in Valencia's response was influenced by information the club recently learned about the German striker: Ducksch committed an offense in April by driving under the influence of alcohol. This was a circumstance Valencia considered before giving final approval to the deal, although Ron Gourlay and Lisandro Isei supported the signing from a sporting perspective. Despite not being in Birmingham's plans for this season, Ducksch will ultimately stay at Birmingham after the deal with Valencia failed.

Bild reports that a potential move for Marvin Ducksch to Valencia failed at the last moment. Ducksch was reportedly already in agreement with Valencia and was prepared for a move. The Spanish club contacted Birmingham City around 18:00 due to a serious injury to Umar Sadiq and made a formal approach, which Ducksch approved. Birmingham had previously indicated that they would let Ducksch leave on a free transfer for a suitable offer. However, the club refused to release him at the last moment because the notice was too short and he was in the matchday squad for the game against Southampton, causing the transfer to fail.

Valencia negotiated with Birmingham City for the loan of German striker Marvin Ducksch in the final hours of the transfer window. The English club informed the 32-year-old player that the transfer could not be completed due to a lack of time. Ducksch had not been playing frequently at the English second division club and was looking for a transfer before the window closed. According to the newspaper AS, the interest in the striker was in response to a demand from coach Carlos Corberán to strengthen the attack, especially after the injury of Umar Sadiq, which could sideline him for as long as three months. The offer had reached Ron Gourlay, the CEO of Football, who was managing the discussions personally.
