The German second-division club Kaiserslautern has started negotiations with Darmstadt and their center-back, Matej Maglica, who is 27 years old and Croatian. It is reported that Maglica is inclined to make the move. Kaiserslautern has competition for the player, as Dinamo is also interested in him. A significant factor in a potential transfer is Torsten Lieberknecht, the coach for Kaiserslautern, who previously brought Maglica to Darmstadt from Stuttgart in 2023 and made him a regular starter in the Bundesliga. Lieberknecht now wants to work with the defender again. Maglica's contract with Darmstadt is valid until the summer of 2027. During the 2025/2026 season, Maglica played in 30 matches and scored 6 goals in the 2. Bundesliga.
