Erfurt suffers significant player departures, with notable individuals leaving the team in red and white.
FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt Bids Farewell to Star Player Jeremiaha Maluze
Jeremiaha Maluze, a 20-year-old footballer who made a significant impact at FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt, is leaving the club to join Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt ahead of the 2025/2026 season. This move marks a significant loss for Rot-Weiß Erfurt, who had signed Maluze as a key player just a year earlier.
Maluze's departure was confirmed in July 2025, signifying that Eintracht Frankfurt secured him from Rot-Weiß Erfurt at the start of the summer transfer window. His immediate impact at FC RWE, where he played in a higher league without any settling-in time, made his departure one of the most impactful for the club.
The details of Maluze's transfer agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt have been kept confidential between the two clubs. However, it is evident that his move to the Bundesliga club is aimed at furthering his development.
Maluze's record with FC RWE includes 33 appearances, five goals, and eight assists. He became a regular player and key performer for the team in Thuringia, earning him the title of "king transfer" for FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt last summer.
The departure of Maluze, along with the departures of Milot Ademi, Yesua Motango, and Artur Voilenko, will make it difficult for FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt to replace them. Head coach Fabian Gerber has thanked these players for their commitment to the club.
Meanwhile, the responsible persons of Eintracht Frankfurt have had good talks regarding the transfers. Initially, Maluze will play in the Regionalliga with Eintracht Frankfurt's U21 team in the Regionalliga Südwest.
The move is being referred to as a "mega-transfer" of a former talent, highlighting the potential that Maluze brings to Eintracht Frankfurt. Despite the painful departure, FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt wishes Maluze the best of luck in his future endeavours.
Footballer Jeremiaha Maluze, who made a significant impact at FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt, is set to leave the club to join Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, aiming to compete in European leagues like the Champions League. His move to Eintracht Frankfurt, despite being a difficult loss for Rot-Weiß Erfurt, will offer him an opportunity to showcase his skills at a higher level.
