Karlsruher SC and Nicolai Rapp are parting ways. The 29-year-old is leaving KSC for the new season and moving to league competitor Dynamo Dresden.

What happened?

Nicolai Rapp joined Karlsruher SC from Werder Bremen in January 2024. At KSC, the native Heidelberger quickly became a key player and was used in both defensive midfield and central defense.

Why it matters

In total, Rapp made 70 appearances for Karlsruher, scoring two goals and assisting one more. In the previous season, he made 25 appearances in the 2. Bundesliga and two in the DFB-Pokal, according to the club.

What comes next?

With the move to Dresden, KSC is losing an experienced defensive all-rounder. Both teams will face each other in the upcoming 2. Bundesliga season. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 10th in 2.
