Paderborn set new spending record with Ulrich deal
SC Paderborn have completed the signing of Laurin Ulrich from VfB Stuttgart. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder joins on a one-year loan deal and will spend the 2026/27 season with the Bundesliga club.
Ulrich spent last season on loan at 1. FC Magdeburg, where he made 33 appearances in the 2. Bundesliga, scoring three goals and providing three assists. His performances earned him a regular role in Magdeburg’s midfield and convinced Stuttgart to continue investing in his development.
