Arnautović transfer: Rapid Vienna hopes for a quick decision!

The transfer poker around Marko Arnautović is currently brings a breath of fresh air to the Austrian football scene. For two weeks now, there has been a lot of discussion in the media and among fans whether the talented striker, who has been without a club since July 1, will switch to Rapid Vienna or not. The former Inter Milan player, who now leaves the club for the second time after two years, enjoys great interest, especially in the Austrian homeland. On Tuesday, there was no clear direction in the negotiations, which the fans are excited. Peter Stöger, coach of Rapid Vienna, noticed that he “no longer” expected Arnautović's promise. This statement could be interpreted particularly strategically in the current negotiations, reports the The press .

Arnautović is currently training with an athletic coach and shows no signs of a resignation. In an Instagram post, he made it clear that he is planning "full commitment for the next chapter" of his life. His wish to possibly return to the Austrian Bundesliga provides speculation and enthusiasm, reported the 90min . Rapid Vienna has presented a specific offer that meets a financially challenging environment. According to Rapid's managing director of Sport, Markus Katzer, the club would like to receive a decision from Arnautovic by the weekend.

The numbers in around the deal are impressive. Arnautović earned around 3.7 million euros net a year at Inter Milan. Rapid offers him an offer of around three million euros gross, which is financed by external funds - one million euros from Rapid, one million by an external sponsor and the third million is to be generated by increased ticket sales and increased media presence. Despite these incentives, the striker would have to do without a lot of money to realize his dream of the 2026 World Cup in the USA and Mexico.

The possibilities for Arnautović seem complex. Rapid is not the only option, even if the door to Besiktas Istanbul, the earlier hot -traded option, is apparently closed because the club has already signed a new center forward. Transfermarkt not only reports on the exciting possibilities that a player like Arnautović brings, but also illuminates his impressive performance data and experiences from different top leagues.

Although the negotiations are demanding and continue to have a certain degree of uncertainty, Rapid remains optimistic and relies on Arnautović as the key player for the next season. In addition, the club hopes to generate outstanding income through possible transfer revenues of players such as Thierry Gale and Nicolas Kühn. Gale could bring a small plus, while Rapid would probably receive 1.9 million euros from Kühn's transfer. A strategic step for the financial basis of the club in this exciting time.

The fans of Austrian football can look forward to the coming weeks in which Arnautović's decision will bring more clarity into the current transfer situation. Whether Rapid Vienna receives the striker's promise or not - the tension remains high!
