Voufack, a Leipzig-born defender, came through the club’s academy in Saxony.

The 18-year-old will link up with 1. FC Köln’s U-21 side for the 2026-27 campaign.

Centre-back Jäkel will join Eintracht Braunschweig on a permanent deal this summer after spending 2025-26 on loan with the German second-division club.
