Mateo Zetic: Offensive talent brings a breath of fresh air to Burghausen!

Austrian football has a new loan agreement that raises high hopes. Mateo Zetic, a talented 20-year-old offensive player, is moving from SV Ried to SV Wacker Burghausen on loan. The partnership is scheduled to last until the summer of 2026 and includes a purchase option that enables Burghausen to sign Zetic permanently afterwards. The decision to loan Zetic results from his promising performances in the regional league, where he scored 14 goals in 27 games last season while playing for the “Young Vikings” of SV Ried, reports laola1.at.

Zetic also previously brought experience from the Vienna City League, where he scored seven goals in 29 appearances for 1. Simmeringer SC in the 2022/23 season. These successes aroused the interest of numerous clubs, and ultimately it was Burghausen that decided to sign him. Managing director Andreas Huber was pleased with the player's arrival and highlighted the need for young, hungry talent to further develop the team, as pnp.de reports.

Positive steps for Zetic

Mateo Zetic has already expressed his gratitude for the new challenge and emphasized that the discussions with the coaching team were very positive. He feels that something is building and is determined to make a contribution to his new team. His skills, particularly his speed and cool-headedness, could be of great use to Wacker Burghausen in the coming season. With a height of 1.80 meters, Zetic is not only fast, but also versatile, making him a valuable addition to the team.

In addition to the positive aspects of the loan, Zetic also brings with him a good exchange with his parent club, SV Ried. This could be beneficial for both sides and promote the player's development within German football. In the current football landscape, it is not uncommon for talented players to be sent out on loan to other clubs. According to transfermarkt.de there are numerous examples of successful loan transactions, both in Germany and in other countries.

Mateo Zetic will play for Wacker Burghausen next season under the number 26 and will be watched with excitement. Expectations are high for the young player and the football community is watching closely to see if he can take the next step in his career.
