Rot-Weiß Erfurt also wished the departing players, including Maluze, all the best for their future endeavours. The details of Maluze's release modalities have been agreed to remain confidential between the two clubs.
Maluze joined Rot-Weiß Erfurt from an Oberliga club in the summer of 2024 and was a regular starter and key player for the club in Thuringia. His transfer from Rot-Weiß Erfurt to Eintracht Frankfurt is being referred to as a "mega-transfer".
Head coach Fabian Gerber also thanked the responsible persons of Eintracht Frankfurt for the good talks regarding Maluze's transfer. As Maluze begins his new chapter at Eintracht Frankfurt, he will look to build on his impressive record and continue his promising football career.
In his time at Rot-Weiß Erfurt, Jeremiaha Maluze showcased his skills in football, garnering the nickname "king transfer" due to his impressive 5 goals and 8 assists in 33 appearances.
