Kevin Schulze: Newcomer brings a breath of fresh air to FC Mecklenburg!

A new wind is blowing at FC Mecklenburg Schwerin: Kevin Schulze, a 25-year-old midfielder, is moving to the club from SG Unit Crivitz. The snapper rolled on June 25, 2025 and Schulze signed a two-year contract. Originally known as a dynamic player in the eight position, he can also liven up the wing positions. With his offensive drive, his game intelligence and his willingness to run, he brings a breath of fresh air to the team, which wants to start ambitiously in the coming leagues. “I am highly motivated for the new challenge,” said Schulze, who celebrated promotion from state class III to the state league last season together with SG Unit Crivitz

Those responsible at FC Mecklenburg Schwerin are visibly satisfied with this transfer. Sports director Stefan Lau emphasizes that Schulze is a player with potential for development who identifies well with the club's goals. In this context, the club would also like to thank SG Unit Crivitz for the fair handling of the change. Schulze is also valued by the former club as a valuable player, who scored 11 goals this season and thus contributed significantly to the Crivitzer's rise.

A turbulent year for the Crivitz unit

The SG unit Crivitz has had a remarkable season under the leadership of coach Mathias Menck, who took a break from his job in the port of Hamburg. Menck, who took over as coach two years ago, led the team to the championship title in State Class III. It became a real team that grew together, not least because of the long journeys to away games. On the last match day, the team suffered a surprising 7-0 defeat against Faulenroster SV, which secured the championship.

Now that they have achieved promotion to the national league, the Crivitzers have big plans for next season. The club management has already given the green light for the 7th league, and the SG plans to attack again next year. The team, led by equal captains Amadeus Rathke and Ricky Schwarck, can look forward to new challenges. Schwarck, who scored 23 goals last season, and Schulze were key players in a team that scored a total of 72 goals.

A look at the transfer market

Kevin Schulze's move within the national leagues may not necessarily interfere with the big transfer carousel of the top leagues, but it certainly shows that exciting transfers are also taking place in the amateur sector. In professional football, especially in well-established leagues such as the Bundesliga or the Premier League, transfer fees can quickly skyrocket. While Paris Saint-Germain made headlines in 2017 with the transfer of Neymar for 222 million euros, the Bundesliga's current highest transfer spending is with Bayern Munich, who spent a total of 149 million euros in the 2024/2025 season.

Top prices and spectacular transfers are the exception, but football continues to experience dynamic changes that are not only caused by high expenditure. The development of players, like that of Kevin Schulze at FC Mecklenburg Schwerin, is great proof that even talented players from smaller leagues have the potential for great success. With a good knack for promoting talent and a clear plan, local football can remain exciting.

Overall, Schulze's transfer will be a step in the right direction for both him and the new club. Football in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania will continue to be followed and fans can look forward to the coming season.
