After losing the relegation, Rot-Weiss Essen confirmed eight departures. As the third division team announced one day after the bitter setback, Tino Casali, captain Michael Schultz, Tobias Kraulich, Nils Kaiser, Kelsey Owusu, Kaito Mizuta as well as loan players Danny Schmidt (Fortuna Düsseldorf) and Jannik Mause (1. FC Kaiserslautern) are leaving Hafenstrasse.
Owusu joins league rivals 1. FC Saarbrücken. According to reports, the Essen team would have liked to keep top scorer Mizuta, who is associated with VfL Bochum, among others.
The future of the courted Torben Müsel and Ramien Safi, whose contracts are expiring, is still open. The same applies to the loan players Franci Bouebari (SC Freiburg II), Jannik Hofmann (1. FC Nürnberg), Dickson Abiama (1. FC Kaiserslautern) and Jaka Cuber Potocnik (1. FC Köln), who have not yet been officially adopted.
