Young talents in their sights: Salzburg wants to sign Koren from Maribor!

FC Red Bull Salzburg not only benefited from the performance of his former talent Benjamin Sesko, but now puts his eyes on a new jewel: Tian Nai Koren. According to the transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Salzburg shows interest in signing the 15-year-old offensive midfielder of the NK Maribor in the summer of 2025. Koren, a great talent, has already drawn attention to himself in the UEFA Youth League, where he scored a goal against Dynamo Kyiv, among other things. From July 31, his 16th birthday, it could be available for a change within the EU, which makes the change possible. In addition to Salzburg, the Club Bruges and PSV Eindhoven also stretched out their feelers for the young player, which is fueling the competition for his transfer.

Success story by Hwang Hee-Chan

entirely in the tradition of talented players who mature at Salzburg, the name Hwang Hee-chan is. The South Korean striker, known for his aggressive game and under the nickname "Hwangso" (which means "bull"), began his Europe -wide career at Red Bull Salzburg before landing on RB Leipzig with the Wolverhampton hikers. During his time at Salzburg, Hwang was able to show impressive achievements, including a concise comeback in the Europa League, which helped his team to win the season for the first time. His career is characterized by numerous goals and remarkable achievements at both club and international level, not least through crucial goals that made South Korea ahead in tournaments such as the FIFA World Championship.

In recent times, Hwang has shown his return to the form and celebrated a memorable victory against Manchester City on September 30, 2023, which was the first defeat for the champions of last season in the current season. On October 28, 2023, he got the record when he became the first Wolves player in 50 years to score six goals in the first ten games of one season. Hwang's impressive style of play and his ability to score important goals make him a key figure for the Wolverhampton Wanderers and strengthen his status on the international football stage, as well as at home in South Korea, where he is honored for his performance.

The development of both Koren and Hwang shows the continued Red Bull Salzburg attraction as a springboard for young talents on the European football market, whereby both the team leadership and the fans are excited about what the future has for these aspiring stars.
