Future star Zajusch: FCM contract with 18-year-old extended!

In the world of football there is always a sensational news, and in Magdeburg the signs are on the future. The 1. FC Magdeburg and his 18-year-old full-back Marcel Zajusch took an important step towards team rejuvenation. The contract extension, which was decided some time ago, ensures a fresh air in the club. Managing Director Otmar Schork emphasizes that Zajusch has signed both a professional contract and an additional contract, which protects its development in the club and gives him the opportunity to improve steadily. The young player, who is currently still without a professional contract for the second division team, can be converted into one from the 2026/2027 season. The association plans to be one of the next top performers in the long term.

Marcel Zajusch, born on August 19, 2006 in Hanover, has already had a considerable career. After his beginnings at the HSC Hannover and a station at Hannover 96, where he was active from 2018 to 2021, he found his way through the youth department of RB Leipzig to 1. FC Magdeburg. In the club's U19, he made his first a stir before playing 16 games for the U-23 team in the current season. The training sessions with the professional team are on his program, and coach Christian Titz particularly emphasizes the positive development in Zajusch's understanding and duel behavior of the past few months. He has already proven himself in the first men's units and shows that he has what it takes to gain a foothold in the second Bundesliga.

training camp and the challenge of the professionals

As part of the latest training camp, Zajusch was able to demonstrate his talent and impressed those responsible with his performance. His coach of the U-23, Pascal Ibold, particularly emphasizes the combination of its size (1.91 m) and athletics, which makes him a promising defender. Zajusch has specialized in continuously improving his football skills in order to meet the requirements of the professional level. The club management is convinced that it can make a decisive contribution in the next few years.

In comparison, wing striker Albert Millgram, the 20-year-old, currently stands before an uncertain future. While Zajusch takes clear steps in his career, Millgram went out in preparation for the new season and did not take part in training. Schork comments on Millgram's situation and emphasizes the difference to the clear perspective of Zajusch.

the view of the youth work

The investments in the youth department of 1. FC Magdeburg show the first fruits. Zajusch is not the only talented player who was forged from his own ranks. Those responsible for managing directors Schork and head coach Titz relies on a solid young talent in order to continue to fall back on young, talented players in the future. The pressure to train players of high potential is available, but the first steps in this regard seem promising.

The 1st FC Magdeburg has set the course for a successful future. Zajusch is a face of this realignment, and it remains exciting to see how his path will develop in German football. Further results and developments from the world of football, especially in the youth field, are also the focus of other clubs, such as BVB, which is planning with various talents to secure their own future. It turns out that a good knack in talent seal is essential for success.

For the fans in Magdeburg it means: keep your eyes open! A lot is happening here, and maybe the next big star is already in the starting blocks.
