Fitz before departure? Austria Vienna urgently needs money for transfer!

An exciting transfer period lies ahead for FK Austria Wien, especially with regard to the fate of Dominik Fitz. The 26-year-old homegrown player has delivered brilliant performances this season, which is why interest in him has grown. So far, however, there are no concrete offers, not even from Major League Soccer (MLS), as Kurier reports. Only one request from Saudi Arabia came into play, but this came from a medium-sized company and not from one of the top clubs.

The situation is urgent for Austria because the financial situation makes an early transaction almost essential. The club is hoping for a transfer fee of between 2.5 and three million euros in order not to end the financial year up to June 30th with a loss. Sports director Manuel Ortlechner has confirmed that Austria would like to tie Fitz long-term. If a move doesn't materialize, Fitz could leave on a free transfer next year, which would further strain the club's financial situation.

The current squad and the transfer situation

In the upcoming summer transfer period, the club only has a few players who can be sold easily, which makes securing the squad even more difficult. According to Transfermarkt, the current transfer balance for the 24/25 season shows that Austria Wien recorded income totaling 4.00 million euros, while there were no expenses. The overall balance remains positive at +4.00 million euros.

These figures reflect the strategic considerations of the club's management, which aims to ensure balanced squad planning and financial stability. There are no winter transfers to report, highlighting the focus on the upcoming summer transfers and making landing a lucrative move for Fitz essential.

Aside from Fitz, there are a few positions in the team that urgently need to be strengthened. Since Austria also relies on talent from its own youth, Fitz, who is considered a self-made player, could one day even end his career in Vienna, which would represent an emotional connection for the club.

The look into the future

The outcome of this transfer window will be crucial, both for Fitz and for Austria Vienna as a whole. The necessary steps towards financial stability must be taken quickly. It remains to be seen whether Dominik Fitz will ultimately stay or take the step into a new league. In any case, it is clear that the club does not want to stand idly by. The development will remain exciting and fans can look forward to interesting weeks in Austrian football.
