FC Salzburg on track: Ex-DFB star Halstenberg before change!

FC Red Bull Salzburg is planning an extensive upheaval for the coming season, which is primarily aimed at the commitment of experienced veterans. In recent years, young talents have mainly been fetched, but now the focus is on players with more experience. The previous newcomers include Janis Blaswich and Karim Onisiwo, who are already supporting the team.

according to LAOLA1 Marcel Halstenberg is on the wish list of Salzburg. The 31-year-old Halstenberg is a former DFB team player and played 165 games in the Bundesliga for RB Leipzig by summer 2023, where he won the DFB Cup twice. He is currently wearing the Hannover 96 jersey, but has some options for his future due to a expiring contract in the coming summer and the unclear perspective of his current club.

Halstenberg's options

Halstenberg is not only courted by Salzburg, but also has other interesting offers on the table. According to reports, he received offers from the New York Red Bulls and the Italian Club Como 1907 in Serie A. The uncertainty regarding the rise of Hannover 96 to the Bundesliga could also influence his decision, since the chances of staying in the second division are questionable. A career end is also an option that Halstenberg is considering.

Salzburg plans to offer him a one -year contract to integrate his experienced character and skills in the team. With Halstenberg's obligation, the team would benefit from its extensive Bundesliga experiences, which could support the upheaval.

transfer balance in the Bundesliga

The average age of the additions is 23.4 years, while the departures have an average age of 22.9 years. These figures make it clear that the teams continue to rely on young talents, but also see the need to get experienced players like Halstenberg in order to create a balance in the squad. This mix could be decisive for the success of the teams next season.
