Christoph Lang before loan? Rapid discusses the future of talent!

Christoph Lang, SK Rapid's talented winger, is facing a decisive turning point in his career this season. After a promising move from SK Sturm Graz to Hütteldorf almost a year ago, for which Rapid paid around 600,000 euros, the situation for the 22-year-old has deteriorated significantly. Despite a strong rise that saw him make 14 appearances and 13 starts in the second half of last season, Lang now often finds himself in the stands. How Laola1 reported, he could not be included in the matchday lineup in the last two games against Salzburg and Blau-Weiß Linz, which indicates his declining importance in the team.

Rapid sports director Markus Katzer has now announced that he will speak calmly with Lang and his advisor about his sporting future. According to that SK Rapid A loan is also being considered so that the former U21 national player, who was most recently active at SV Ried and TSV Hartberg, can return to regular appearances. Lang is under contract with Rapid until 2027, but a temporary release may be necessary to give him the opportunity to show his full potential on the pitch.
