Welfare change to the WAC: SV Ried with big changes!

Wolfsberg, Österreich - On June 3, 2025, SV Ried announced significant changes in the transfer market. In the middle of an active transfer procedure, Nikki Haveaar extended his contract, while coach Maximilian Senft and sports director Wolfgang Fiala also signed new contracts. These personnel decisions agree with the efforts of the association to consolidate the sporting basis for returning to the Bundesliga.

A look at the departures shows that David Bumberger, Lumor Agbenyenu, Nik Marinsek, Nemanja Celic and Marco Untergrabner leave the club. This opens up space for new players and at the same time means that the team has to be restructured.

transfer by Fabian Wohlmuth

The focus of the current transfer rumors is Fabian Wohlmuth, who is about to switch to Wolfsberger AC. According to Laola1.at, a transfer fee of around 500,000 euros was agreed. It is reported that Wohlmuth's contract would have expired in a year, which reduces the pressure on SV Ried to have to make immediate decisions.

It was only last year that the WAC had made an offer of 700,000 euros for the striker, but was rejected. According to the consultant Max Hagmayr, "the signs are now on change", which also underlines the perspective on the transfer. Wohlmuth is seen as a potential alternative for the loss of the departure of Boris Matic and Adis Jasic, which has switched to al-stain.

financial situation and perspectives

Fabian Wohlmuth is seen as a key player, whose obligation should support the Wolfsberger AC in its objective to rise to the Bundesliga. President Thomas Gahleitner emphasized that the association is not a savings association and that it is open to sales negotiations if the offer is appropriate. In the discussion about the transfer fee, there are different ratings that fluctuate between 500,000 and 750,000 euros, the latter reflect the view that this is the highest amount the SV Ried has ever achieved for a player, as on transfermarkt.de is reported.

sports director Wolfgang Fiala assures that there is no sales pressure and the association is able to find a replacement for Wohlmuth. The financial situation of the SV Ried seems to be sufficiently stable in order to be able to act strategically during this changeover period.
