Karim Onisiwo changes to Red Bull Salzburg - a new era begins!

Salzburg, Österreich - Red Bull Salzburg has reported a spectacular newcomer: Karim Onisiwo, who played for the 1st FSV Mainz 05 for over nine years, changes to the Mozartstadt. The 32-year-old striker comes after a mutually acceptable termination of the contract, which means that no transfer is due for Mainz. The new sports director Rouven Schröder is enthusiastic: "It's nice that we can report a first important new addition so early," he explains. With the possible replacement for the injured Karim Konaté, Salzburg could bring fresh wind into the stormy line -up.

onisiwo is considered the top scorer in the Bundesliga history of the Mainz club, where he scored 35 goals in 233 games and provided 32 templates. His time in Mainz was characterized by passion and a strong style of play, which Christian Heidel, the sports director of Mainz, particularly emphasizes: "Karim was one of the formative Mainz players of the past decade." Despite his success in Mainz and an impressive career in the German Bundesliga, it was ultimately the desire to return home, which led to this change, like Transfermarkt.de reported.

onisiwo should help Salzburg

The ONISIWO personnel comes for Salzburg at a critical time. With Karim Konaté's cruciate ligament rupture, the team lacks the most valuable player, and the experienced striker is now supposed to help save the season. In view of the previous services in the Bundesliga, he will certainly be considered reinforcement. His contract in Salzburg runs until 2026, which could make him an important part of the team in the long term, because with just one goal and no direct participation in the first games of the current season, Onisiwo will now have to demonstrate after the past successes at Mainz that he can also cause a sensation in Austria, like Today.
