Altach and GAK start their season preparation with new additions!

On June 18, 2025, the two Austrian Bundesliga clubs SCR Altach and GAK began their preparatory training for the new season. This first unit was accompanied by new signing Patrick Greil, who moved to Altach from German third division relegated Sandhausen on a free transfer. His transfer was confirmed shortly before training began. Greil is 28 years old and previously played for Austria Klagenfurt and Rapid.

Some regular staff were not present at the first training session in Altach. Vesel Demaku was missing due to his call-up to the Kosovo national team and is expected to return on Monday. Ousmane Diawara was unable to take part due to illness, while Mike-Steven Bähre had to take time off for personal reasons. Leonardo Lukacevic, who also joined the team a little late for personal reasons, recently signed a new contract with Altach, as did Lukas Jäger.

Transfers and squad changes

The transfer situation at SCR Altach is characterized by a number of departures that can be accounted for in the current season. Ammer Helac, who served as a substitute goalkeeper, was no longer extended. In addition, the loan of defender Steve Noode from Schalke 04 was ended early. On the other hand, Altach's other transfer details, including income of 19 and expenses of 22 (with a loss of €80,000), are recorded in a detailed overview that includes possible arrivals and departures. This development reinforces the club's efforts to strategically strengthen and rejuvenate the squad for the coming season while facing financial challenges, as transfermarkt.at reports.

At the same time, GAK was able to sign a new player, Tobias Koch. He moves from relegated Austria Klagenfurt. In addition, central defender Lukas Graf, an important part of the defense for the coming season, was able to extend his contract for another year and thus remains loyal to the club.

The outlook for the coming season

With these changes and new additions, both Altach and GAK can start the upcoming Bundesliga season with fresh enthusiasm. The coaches hope that the new players will be integrated quickly and can help strengthen the team dynamic. This will be particularly important as competition in the league is fierce and every team is required to continually improve. In addition, the discussion about forum moves and discussion rounds raises important questions about the development of football and clubs in the region, as noted on transfermarkt.de.

Overall, the current developments at SCR Altach and GAK promise an exciting season, which the fans are looking forward to with growing anticipation. The squad adjustments and targeted transfers seem to have been well thought out, and the next few weeks will be crucial in determining how quickly the new additions integrate into the team.
