Fortuna Düsseldorf must start in the 3. Liga this season. The club loses players like Zissis Alexandris and David Galonske. Alexandris leaves the club after a season that was not entirely satisfactory for him. However, he was always an important part of the team and will continue to celebrate successes as a youth trainer in the NLZ. Galonske moves his residence from Leverkusen to Cologne and will therefore play closer to his new place of residence. The 1. FC Monheim will host Fortuna Düsseldorf on July 3 for a friendly match. Information on ticket sales will follow. The club also loses Kaan Karaduman, Luca Busch-Garcia, and Leonard Bajraktari. Karaduman will move back to the Middle Rhine to be closer to his home. Busch-Garcia sought playing time and asked the club to take a step back to try again. Bajraktari will move to a district league team to focus on new professional challenges.
