Preußen Münster used the summer break to announce eight new signings, yet the hunt for a reliable striker remains open. Sporting director Jan Uphues confirmed that Maurice Boakye (21) has been removed from the wish list after securing a move to CS Marítimo in Portugal.

Why Boakye is no longer an option

Boakye, a former HSV U23 talent, scored 23 goals and provided four assists in 33 matches. Despite those numbers, his contract with HSV expired and he chose a free transfer to the Portuguese top flight. The German‑Ghanaian signed a three‑year deal with CS Marítimo, Cristiano Ronaldo’s club, and will continue his career there.

Which attacking options remain?

Preußen Münster already brought in Oscar Vilhelmsson (22) and Joshua Mees (30), but both have struggled with injuries lately. Additionally, young professionals Leon Tasov (21), Marvin Schulz (22) and Montell Ndikom (21) from Hannover II are available. Malik “Batman” Batmaz (26) could return after two ACL tears, yet he must first regain his rhythm.

How does the current season look?

After the 0‑3 loss to SV Elversberg on 17 May 2026, Preußen Münster sits on the 18th place in the 2. Bundesliga with 30 points (6 wins, 12 draws, 16 losses). The team has scored 38 goals and conceded 61, a –23 goal difference. Recent form: 0‑W, 2‑D, 3‑L (LLLDD), with the last three matches lost.

What does this mean for the upcoming season?

Uphues stresses that patience is required because the transfer market will only pick up after the World Cup on 18 July. Competition for a robust anchor striker is fierce, but Preußen Münster stays active, exploring loan deals from higher divisions. The aim is a forward who can hold up play and finish chances – a profile every club desires.

What’s next?

The club continues working on offensive reinforcement while preparations for the new season progress. Fans can look forward to seeing which names will join the wish list in the coming weeks and whether a new goal scorer will boost the attack of the Schwarz‑Weiß‑Grünen.
