SC Paderborn rebuffed over Linus Gechter
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Hertha BSC have kept their man, and SC Paderborn go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Transfer targets31 Aug 2026
The paperwork begins on Daniel Mesenhöler
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. SC Paderborn have done the hard part with Dynamo Dresden, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.
Market31 Aug 2026
Niklas Mohr hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what SC Paderborn can pretend not to have heard.
Boardroom31 Aug 2026
SC Paderborn go back to the board over Filippo Mané
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $611.9K — a club that wants Filippo Mané enough to be asked twice.

SC Paderborn baulk at the price for Fabio Chiarodia
Borussia Mönchengladbach wanted more than $480.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Lars Ritzka was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Arminia Bielefeld left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Market31 Aug 2026
Telstar expected to open talks for Travis de Jong
Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. SC Paderborn will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.
The dugout31 Aug 2026
Florian Schröder: “No excuses”
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
