1. FC Union Berlin have confirmed the signing of Alex Kral for the 2023/24 season.
The 25-year-old defensive midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Schalke 04, was previously contracted to Spartak Moscow.
Oliver Ruhnert, Union's managing director of professional football, is delighted with the midfield reinforcement, saying:
