A report by ‘Neue Westfälische’ indicates that SC Paderborn is in advanced talks with 26-year-old German striker Marvin Pieringer and his club, 1. FC Heidenheim, and that a transfer is said to be imminent. Pieringer previously played for Paderborn during the 2022/23 season. The forward is under contract with Heidenheim until 2027, but his release clause reportedly expired at the end of June, making the transfer fee negotiable. The potential cost of the transfer has not yet been made public. His market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €3.00m.
