Kaiserslautern is waiting for the schedule for the new season and is working behind the scenes to strengthen the squad. The FCK wants to get at least one new central defender after the departure of four defenders.

Who is Kelven Frees?

Kelven Frees is a 21-year-old central defender who is under contract with TSG Hoffenheim. He is considered highly talented, but was slowed down by an ankle injury last summer.

Why is Frees an option for Kaiserslautern?

Frees has been fit again since April and can now take the next step in his career. A detour via the 2. Bundesliga and FCK would make sense for all parties involved. Kaiserslautern is currently in 6th place in the 2. Bundesliga with 52 points and a record of 16 wins, 4 draws and 14 losses.

What's next?

The FCK has to deal with the negotiations for a loan of Frees. It remains to be seen whether the club can reach an agreement with TSG Hoffenheim. With Matej Maglica, Joshua Quarshie and Jesper Daland, several names of candidates have been making the rounds at the Betzenberg in recent days. Kaiserslautern has scored 52 goals this season and conceded 47, which corresponds to a positive goal difference of +5. The FCK is 18 points behind leaders FC Schalke 04
