Energie Cottbus and VfL Bochum, who both recently expressed interest in Torben Müsel, are not expected to sign him, as the 26-year-old German goal-scoring midfielder from Rot-Weiss Essen is expected to join a 2. Bundesliga club. According to the 'WAZ', Müsel is close to signing for 1. FC Magdeburg and is anticipated to be announced as a new signing this week. The transfer will be a free one, as the player's contract with RWE expires in the summer. Müsel, who has one cap for Germany's U20 team, joined Rot-Weiss Essen in January 2023 and scored 11 goals in 37 appearances in the 3. Liga during the 2025/2026 season. His current Transfermarkt market value is €450k.
