Drama about Wüthrich: move to Augsburg fails – what now for Sturm Graz?
Gregory Wüthrich, the Swiss defender from Sturm Graz, remains in the focus of the transfer market. After a failed move to FC Augsburg, which did not take place due to a failed medical check, Wüthrich was again linked with a possible departure. The move to Germany fell through and he is now on his way back to Graz, while the club's sporting director Andreas Schicker describes the situation as bittersweet.
Wüthrich, who has played for Sturm Graz since 2020, has also received interest from Red Star Belgrade. However, in a surprising turn of events, he decided to turn down the Serbian record champions. This decision was confirmed by Michael Parensen, the sports director, during the half-time break of a game. Parensen underlined the importance of Wüthrich for the team and expressed understanding for the scroll offers that were made to the player, as laola1.at reported.
A difficult year for Wüthrich
The year 2023 was anything but easy for Wüthrich. The planned move to FC Augsburg ended in disappointment when he failed the medical check, as Schicker confirmed. "It was his dream to play in Germany. We didn't want to put any obstacles in his way," said Schicker about the current situation. Despite the disappointment, Wüthrich will also take part in the next game against Altach.
These developments shed light on the challenges players face in today's football world. The market is fast-moving and not every transfer goes according to plan. The incident also sheds light on Wüthrich's expectations and commitment to continue to prove himself in Graz. At the same time, the club remains optimistic that Wüthrich, who will not have a new contract next season, will play a key role in the team.
