WinterTransfers 2025: Clubs rely on old acquaintances and new talents!

Wien, Österreich - On February 7, 2025, the winter transfero period in the Austrian Bundesliga is coming to an end. A total of 101 newcomers were registered here, which encouraged the clubs to actively use the winter market, such as Arf.at . This is an increase compared to the previous season, in which only 71 players took place. The clubs did more than in the five -year average of 82 transfers per winter period. Many of the obligations are well -known football professionals who return to the home league or play here for the first time.

An outstanding example is Martin Hinteregger's comeback, which after two and a half years break with Austria Klagenfurt in the Bundesliga. His first game against Red Bull Salzburg is on Sunday, with over 3,000 spectators being expected. According to oe24.at , Hinteregger is the main attraction under the WinterTransfers, and he should help fill the ranks. In the league, however, the activity was disappointing because large transfers failed to fail and more players with question marks were signed.
