Konstantin Schopp - Signs with Mainz Schopp has signed with Mainz from Sturm Graz, accoridng to his new club.

Impact Schopp is heading to Germany for the next stages of his career, as he will join Mainz after ending his time in Austria. He does enter the club having European experience, having played in the UCL with Graz. That said, he is a promising young player who will be someone to watch in the future, hopeful to shape out his spot with the club early.

Andreas Hanche-Olsen - Receives knee surgery Hanche-Olsen has received surgery on his right knee joint but is expected to be available for summer preparations, accoridng to his club.

Impact Hanche-Olsen will be seeing some time away from the field as the club enters the offseason, as he has undergone knee surgery. That said, he is still supposed to return for summer preparations, which is a good sign for the defender. He saw a bit more time at the end of the season with four straight starts, so it is at least good news that he should still be fit for the start of the new campaign.

MAY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Arnaud Nordin - Awful after transfer Nordin failed to score in six bench appearances with Mainz.

Impact Nordin transferred to Mainz from Montpellier and was expected to bring a new dimension to the attack. The attacker failed to do that, even going unused in the final three matches. In his career Nordin has been a consistently productive option in France, but he just couldn't do anything to earn any sort of role in Germany. Nordin has multiple years left on his contract, and at this point it would take a big turnaround for him to take a larger role in Mainz.

MAY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Silvan Widmer - Roles crumbles Widmer made just three starts (27 appearances) in the Bundesliga, assisting once.

Impact Widmer's days as a starter in Mainz are well-and-truly behind him. The wing-back hardly played this season and in the minutes he did play he did little to suggest he deserves more minutes. Widmer has one more year left on his contract and isn't likely to play his way into a bigger role.

MAY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kaishu Sano - Starts every match Sano started all 34 Bundesliga matches during his first season in Mainz.

Impact Sano made the move to Mainz and immediately established himself as the most important part of the starting XI. He played every single match, going the full 90 in all but two matches. While his stats weren't particularly impressive, the work Sano did to link the midfield and defense was invaluable.

MAY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Andreas Hanche-Olsen - Remains bench option Hanche-Olsen made 22 appearances (12 starts) in the Bundesliga.

Impact Hanche-Olsen's third season in Germany was passable, but he failed to really earn a consistent role after injuries hampered him early. The positive outlook for Hanche-Olsen is that he started the final four matches in the Bundesliga, pointing towards a larger role next season potentially.

MAY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Armindo Sieb - Limited minutes Sieb scored and assisted twice in 27 appearances (five starts) in his first season in Mainz.

Impact Sieb made the move to Mainz and had a disappointing debut campaign. He actually started the campaign as an occasional starter and consistent bench option, but his minutes dwindled throughout. The poor return on his already limited minutes isn't a good sign for Sieb taking a larger role next season.

MAY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nelson Weiper - Out of contract Weiper is out of contract after scoring three times and adding two assists in 23 appearances (seven starts) in the Bundesliga.

Impact Weiper is at the end of his contract with Mainz, and his future remains uncertain. The club remains in negotiations for a renewal with the striker, though he's failed to really establish himself as an invaluable part of the starting XI during his first three seasons.

MAY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lee Jae-sung - Brilliant offensively Lee scored a career-best seven times and added a career-high six assists in 33 appearances (31 starts) in the Bundesliga.

Impact Lee was a major contributor in the starting XI yet again. The forward was brilliant throughout, setting career-highs in essentially every category. Lee should remain one of the most important pieces of the starting XI next season as he continues to make the attacking midfield role his own.

MAY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Philipp Mwene - Excellent again Mwene scored once and added four assists in 32 starts in the Bundesliga.

Impact Mwene's second campaign back with Mainz was another excellent one. The wing-back was good for five goal contributions and played a huge role throughout. The return of Mwene has essentially meant Silvan Widmer has fallen to be a complete bench option.

MAY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Maxim Leitsch - Remains depth option Leitsch made 14 appearances (six starts) in his third season with Mainz.

Impact Leitsch has been a depth option since making the switch to Mainz, though he's never really established a starting role. It would be a surprise if that changed, as he largely remained on the bench even in the midst of an injury crisis in the backline.

MAY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Danny da Costa - Moves to center-back da Costa played 25 times (all starts) at center-back during his fourth season with Mainz.

Impact da Costa made the move to Mainz four years ago and was generally seen as a right wing-back. As his legs have gone due to age and some injuries da Costa made the swap to center-back, where he proved an admirable option. da Costa should continue in that role next season after starting nearly every match for the final five months.

MAY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tom Krauss - Returns to Mainz after loan Krauss is leaving Bochum at the end of his loan spell and will return to Mainz with the aim of being fit for preseason, his former club announced.

Impact Krauss is heading back to Mainz after two loan spells this season with Luton Town and Bochum. He gained solid experience with 37 appearances, scoring two goals and providing four assists. He will aim to be fit and available for pre-season with Mainz, although it remains unclear whether the club will want to keep him or loan him out again.

MAY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Caci - Suffers knee injury Caci suffered a knee injury in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Leverkusen and was forced off in the 70th minute, according to the club.

Impact Caci was forced off in the second half of the final clash of the season against Leverkusen after suffering a knee injury. He will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue and whether he will need to miss time to recover. He will aim to return fully fit for the preseason ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

MAY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Robin Zentner - Returns for season finale Zentner allowed two goals while making two saves during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Leverkusen.

Impact Zentner allowed two second half goals, but held on long enough for Mainz to come from behind for a point. The keeper returned from a two-match injury absence in the match ending the season allowing seven goals while combining for seven saves in his last three appearances.
