Bild provides an update on the potential loan move of Mekhi Gray, a 19-year-old Jamaican-German centre-forward. The publication states that it is conceivable that Mekhi Gray could first be loaned out. The example of Leon Prosche, a 19-year-old who went to Regionalligist Aue, is mentioned, which involved a contract extension followed by a loan. In the 2025/2026 season, Gray scored 10 goals in 14 appearances for 1.FC Union Berlin's U19 team.
