According to Bild, Rico Preißinger made an unexpected contract decision to remain at Preußen Münster despite an earlier announcement that he would leave. Immediately after the club's relegation from the 2. Bundesliga, Preißinger had announced his departure from Münster to take on a new sporting challenge and had rejected the club’s contract offer. He later reversed this decision and signed a new contract with Preußen Münster, choosing to stay at the club even though there were other inquiries.

Rico Preißinger (29) has decided to leave Preußen Münster. The German defensive midfielder (market value: 400,000 Euro) joined from FC Ingolstadt in summer 2023 and has since played 83 times for the club. He has apparently rejected a new offer, which was also reportedly made to Lars Lokotsch (30) and Niko Koulis (28), to pursue a new opportunity. Preißinger has previously played for Germany at the U18 level.
