Luca Wollschläger strengthens 1. FC Saarbrücken: A new source of hope!

A new striker for 1. FC Saarbrücken! On June 26, 2025, it was announced that Luca Wollschläger, a 22-year-old center forward, was officially moving from Hertha BSC to FCS. With an impressive height of 1.94 meters, he not only brings physical presence, but also the experience he was able to gain during his time in the Regionalliga Nordost. Those responsible at the club see him as a key reinforcement for their own offensive department and are confident that he can provide the desired impetus. Media sports service reports that Wollschläger previously demonstrated his skills at Hertha BSC II, but also made four appearances with the first team.

Wollschläger's path to this change was an interesting one. He came to Hertha BSC from Hansa Rostock in 2020, where he signed his first professional contract in 2022. But last season at Rot-Weiss Essen did not go as hoped because the striker was unable to assert himself with the Essen team. His contract with Hertha was now expiring, which enabled him to move to Saarbrücken. “We thank Luca for his commitment and wish him much success in the new challenge,” said Hertha’s sporting director Benjamin Weber with best wishes for the future of the young talent Hertha BSC reported.

The first impression counts

Sports director Jürgen Luginger from 1. FC Saarbrücken is enthusiastic about Wollschläger's ambition and his character suitability for the team. After the first conversation, the 22-year-old was visibly pleased about the opportunity to continue his career in Saarbrücken and is ready to face the challenges of the new league. The discussions were promising and raised hopes of a successful collaboration.

In addition to Wollschläger, there are also other talents in the regional league. For example, TSV Buchbach, the runner-up in the Bavarian Regional League, has signed Berat Akcay, a 19-year-old talented striker who was active for the Austrian third division club SV Ried II. The development of such young players shows that the regional league is fertile ground for future football stars. How Kicker reports, the clubs in the regional league are always looking for new talent to strengthen their teams.

Overall, Luca Wollschläger's move will likely draw several eyes on 1. FC Saarbrücken, while fans can look forward to a potentially exciting new season with a breath of fresh air in the offensive.
