Max Meyer Set to Return Home to Rot‑Weiß Oberhausen

Completion of the move would see the former Germany youth star drop to the fourth tier and could mark the end of his top‑level career.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Monday that Meyer is expected to sign for Regionalliga side Rot‑Weiß Oberhausen once he passes an obligatory medical and the club announces the deal.
  • Reports say the 30‑year‑old would sign a likely two‑year contract, but the transfer remains conditional on the outstanding medical.
  • Meyer has been a free agent since his APOEL Nicosia contract expired in June after two seasons abroad.
  • Once a Schalke breakthrough talent and captain of Germany’s 2016 Olympic team, Meyer’s move frames a long decline from top‑level clubs to his hometown fourth‑tier side.
  • For Rot‑Weiß Oberhausen the signing would raise the club’s profile in the Regionalliga West and could boost attendances and promotion ambitions if Meyer returns to form.
