Overview
- Dynamo Dresden announced a contract renewal for goalkeeper Daniel Mesenhöler hours before the club's official training start and said he will be used as the team’s third-choice keeper.
- The extension brings the squad to four contracted goalkeepers, a situation the club says it will resolve by moving one keeper out before the season begins.
- Mesenhöler joined Dresden in January 2024, has made six competitive appearances and delivered a notable performance in a home game against VfL Bochum, which club officials cited when justifying his retention.
- Likely candidates to leave are Lennart Grill or Elias Bethke, and the club will use upcoming fitness assessments for those two players to guide who departs.
- Tim Schreiber is the established number one with one year left on his deal, so the club sees a multi-year extension for him as a priority to avoid losing him for free next summer and to stabilise the goalkeeper hierarchy.
