Focus shifts to donation matters as Prussia Münster terminates former Bielefelder Lorenz without specifying a timeframe; now, the player offers comments
Marc Lorenz, a midfielder who has been under contract with SC Preußen Münster since the summer of 2022, is currently embroiled in a controversy surrounding the handling of donated funds intended for a children's clinic.
The club announced the termination of Lorenz's contract without notice, citing "concrete suspicions of irregularities in connection with donation funds." The allegations centre around irregularities in the handling and timing of donated funds.
Lorenz, in response, acknowledged the delay in settling the donations, attributing it to his mental health struggles. He stated that all outstanding donated funds had been fully paid before the club made the dismissal public. He vehemently denied any intentional wrongdoing or embezzlement, emphasizing that the delay was unintentional and linked to his illness, of which the club had been aware for more than a year.
During his time at Arminia Bielefeld, Lorenz made a significant impact, scoring 10 goals and assisting in 14 more. However, his tenure with SC Preußen Münster has been marred by this controversy. He was removed as captain by the new Preußen trainer, Alexander Ende, shortly after extending his contract.
Lorenz published a statement on Instagram, admitting to the delayed payment of donation funds. He expressed surprise that SC Preußen Münster went public with the matter without prior consultation. He is currently undergoing treatment for his mental health issues and has denied any intentional embezzlement of donation funds.
The football second-division club has filed a complaint in parallel with the termination of Lorenz's contract. The outcome of this matter will be closely watched by fans and the football community alike.
