Marcel Lotka, born on 25 May 2001 in Poland, is a goalkeeper currently plying his trade at Borussia Dortmund. At the age of 23, he stands tall on the goal line at 6ft 2in (1.9m) and boasts a solid physique, weighing in around 13st 5lb (85kg). Lotka is easily identifiable on the pitch, donning the number 35 jersey for his club.
With a modest yet burgeoning career ahead of him, Lotka's current market value is estimated to be around €1.30m, which converts to roughly £1.1m as per Transfermarkt. Currently, he still has 10 months remaining on his contract with Borussia Dortmund, with it set to expire on 30 June 2025.
Kickstarting his career in the 2021-2022 season at Hertha BSC in Germany, young Lotka earned himself ten first-team appearances. Spotting potential in the budding goalkeeper, Borussia Dortmund II brought him on board for the 2022-2023 season. It was here that he started to demonstrate his capabilities, racking up a commendable 30 first-team appearances. He maintained a consistent presence in the following season for Dortmund II with 28 appearances to his name.
As we dive into the 2024-2025 season, Lotka's persistence for the Dortmund II team has seen him take to the field on two occasions already. However, his journey to make a dent as the first choice goalie for the senior Borussia Dortmund team remains an uphill battle, with no first team appearances to his name so far in the current season.
