Fridrikas before change: Altach striker moves to Eastern Styria!

Hartberg, Österreich - Austrian football is faced with a change that could redesign Lukas Fridrika's career. The 27-year-old striker of the SCR Altach is the focus of the TSV Hartberg . So far, Fridrikas has only had a short commitment of eleven minutes this season, which makes his position in the team attackable.

In the summer of 2024, Fridrikas moved from Austria Lustenau to Altach and looks back on a mixed time. In a total of 31 games, he scored three goals and prepared two more. His previous achievements were not sufficient to prevail against the competition in the team, especially not against the attacking players Diawara and Mustapha.

desire for change

Fridrikas said the desire for a change before the game against Ried. In this encounter in which he was not in the squad, it becomes clear that the situation for him at Altach is no longer wearable. In his two years at the club, he could not build on earlier successes: at Austria Lustenau, he scored 25 goals in 53 games and holds the record with 19 Bundesliga goals. He was also successful with 33 goals from 75 games at FC Dornbirn.

A move to Hartberg could not only mean a new chance for Fridrikas, but also a return to his former home venue in the southern part of the city. Hartberg is expected to play his first home games there.

transfer activities in the Bundesliga

In the middle of these considerations, it can also be seen that the Bundesliga actively deals with transfers. In addition to Fridrika's other players, the Hartberg association has targeted more players to strengthen the squad for the current season. Positive newcomers include VfB Stuttgart and Kerim Alajbegovic from Bayer Leverkusen, while rental returnees such as Lucas Gourna-Douath from AS Roma also find their way back.

The departures for different clubs are also significant. Players like Bobby Clark (awarded to Derby County) and Oscar Gloukh (to Ajax) show the dynamics that prevails in the league. Fridrikas' possible transfer could only be the beginning of further change within the league.

With a possible change, Lukas Fridrika could venture a new beginning that gives him the opportunity to exploit his potential and to call up the services expected.
