Brotherly reunion? Rapid Vienna in the race around Simon Seidl!

A hot transfer rumor causes a stir in Austrian football: Rapid Vienna has an eye on Simon Seidl, the younger brother of captain Matthias Seidl. As early as 2023, Matthias moved from FC Blau-Weiß Linz to SK Rapid and took over the captain's office there. In the current season, the 24-year-old plays a key role in the midfield of the green-whites and is a central part of the team that wants to assert itself again in the Bundesliga. According to reports from the Salzburger Nachrichten there are already efforts to get the 22-year-old Simon Seidl to Vienna in summer.

like Sky Sport Austria confirmed, the FC Blau-Weiß Linz has concrete interests in a change. Simon Seidl, who is under contract in Linz by summer 2027, should be ready to play with his brother. But Rapid has to hurry up, because city rival FK Austria Vienna as well as international clubs such as SC Freiburg and Werder Bremen show interest. Simon has shown impressive achievements in his career, including 35 scorer points in 56 games for blue and white and a significant share in the Bundesliga promotion of his team. His danger and the pronounced mentality make him a coveted player, which fueled the transfer rumors.

fraternal connection under pressure

The situation is complicated, however, since the reunification of the two brothers would only be possible if Matthias Seidl fulfills his contract with Rapid until 2027. His whereabouts will be crucial for Rapid in order not only to get their strength in the league, but also to bring Simon Seidl to Hütteldorf. While the talks about Simon Seidl's future are still in the balance, it turns out that the football circus has its own rules and is facing an exciting time for the Seidls.
