Rapid Vienna in transfer fever: Top scorer M'Buyi wants to go to Hütteldorf!

Hütteldorf, Österreich - The rumor mill around SK Rapid Vienna is bubbling: Claudy M’Buyi, the coveted striker of the SKN St. Pölten, has decided to switch to rapid, according to various reports. The 26-year-old Frenchman played an impressive season last year and could be exactly the striker whom Rapid urgently needs.

With 21 goals in 24 games, M’Buyi grabbed the title of the top scorer of the Admiral 2nd league. The most recent course of his form is also impressive: after a weak first half of the season, in which he only scored 3 goals, he really started in the spring - 18 goals in 14 games shocked the opponents and led to four double packs in the last four season. This not only makes the heart of the rapid supporters beat faster, but also attracts other clubs.

need for action on the offensive

Although Rapid will only be playing against the LASK in the European Cup playoff second leg on Sunday, where the game starts at 5 p.m. and followed live in the league portal ticker, the management is already thinking about the next season. Managing Director Sport Markus Katzer has made it clear that the squad planning was significantly difficult without participating in the European Cup. In particular, since Guido Burgstaller ended his career and the costs for a commitment by Dion Beljo are considered too high.

The transfer from M’Buyi is therefore very popular. Rapid has to pay a transfer to the second division club SKN St. Pölten, but that could be a good deal for the record champions. The SK Rapid, which is located at Gerhard-Hanappi-Platz 1 in Vienna, has made a name for itself in Austria with 32 championship titles and 14 cup wins and urgently needs a new snap.

a player with potential

The 25-year-old M’Buyi also brings international flair with him because he has Congolese roots. His change from FC Villefranche to St. Pölten in July 2024 turned out to be a stroke of luck. The striker not only enriched the club in the 2nd league, but also aroused the interest of other clubs. But his heart apparently beats for Rapid, which makes the situation even more exciting.

While Rapid focuses on M’Buyi, those responsible also prepare for closing the other construction sites in the squad. A season without a European Cup is considered problematic in Hütteldorf, both emotionally and financially. The pressure increases and the fans hope for positive news in the transfer phase. One thing is certain: Rapid has the potential to do good business and to strengthen the series of attacks.

The fans can be excited to see whether the change will actually come about in the end and whether M’Buyi will soon cause a sensation in Hütteldorf!
