The impending squad changes come at a turbulent time for the 3. Liga side. Following an encouraging start to the season that yielded four points from their opening two matches—a 4-1 victory against SC Verl and a 1-1 draw away to Fortuna Köln—Alemannia Aachen suffered a 0-3 home defeat to SV Meppen. The heavy loss exposed glaring issues in intensity and physical duels, leaving head coach Mersad Selimbegović searching for answers ahead of the upcoming fixture away to FC Ingolstadt.
Oehmichen Return Bolsters Central Midfield
The 22-year-old central midfielder spent the second half of the previous campaign on loan in Aachen, where he established himself as a key contributor with two goals and six assists across 15 appearances. After returning to Dynamo Dresden in an effort to break into the senior squad—where he ultimately logged only two brief substitute appearances in the league and the DFB-Pokal—the former U19 national player opted for a return where he previously found regular playing time.
The transfer fee is reportedly set around 500,000 euros, with potential add-ons tied to performance milestones such as a future promotion to the 2. Bundesliga. Notably, Dresden has not retained a buy-back option or a sell-on percentage in the agreement.
Ademi Nears Bundesliga Move to SV Elversberg
To help finance the investment in Oehmichen, Alemannia Aachen is prepared to part ways with Faton Ademi.
With Ademi’s contract running out at the end of the season, club management faced a critical window to secure a significant multi-million-euro transfer fee rather than risk losing the homegrown talent on a free transfer next summer.
Looking Ahead to FC Ingolstadt
Coach Selimbegović and his revamped squad will look to put the recent disappointment against SV Meppen behind them on Friday, when Alemannia Aachen travels to face FC Ingolstadt. Kickoff times and match logistics remain set under standard 3. Liga scheduling as the club aims to stabilize its campaign amidst late-window roster adjustments.
