FC Kaiserslautern have bolstered their defense with the signing of promising Ghanaian centre-back Maxwell Gyamfi ahead of the 2025/26 season. The 25-year-old, who was born in Germany to Ghanaian parents, joins from VfL Osnabrück on a free transfer after an impressive campaign in the 3. Liga.

A product of Borussia Dortmund’s esteemed youth system, Gyamfi has steadily built a reputation as a dependable and dynamic defender. His standout performances last season, where he featured in 33 matches for Osnabrück, caught the attention of the 2. Bundesliga outfit, who now hope he will be a key figure at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion.

“FCK is simply a big name in German football,” Gyamfi shared after signing. “I believe this move is the right next step in my career. I’ve followed the club for a while and am excited to be part of its journey.”

Sporting director Marcel Klos was equally enthusiastic about the acquisition. “He was among the best players in the third division last season. His speed and dynamism are perfect for our playing style and for the challenges of the second division.”

Though he has yet to be capped internationally, Gyamfi remains eligible to represent Ghana, adding to the growing pool of dual-nationality players potentially available to the Black Stars.
