Rapid Vienna in front of AC: Claudy M'Buyi in sight!

Hütteldorf, Österreich - The signs are on change: SK Rapid has thrown an eye on Claudy M’Buyi, the top scorer of the Admiral 2nd League. The 25-year-old striker, currently under contract with SKN St. Pölten until 2026, impressively drawn attention to himself in the past season-21 goals in 24 games are impressive result. In the second half of the season in particular, M’Buyi flourished and scored a whopping 18 goals in 14 games, including four double packs in a row in the last four games. It remains to be hoped that you keep a good hand in the Hütteldorf transfer department.

SK Rapid is under pressure. On Sunday, the European Cup playoff second leg against the LASK, and the team urgently needs this success. From a financial and emotional point of view, a season without international competitions would be a real challenge for the traditional club. Managing Director Sport Markus Katzer emphasized that this also has an impact on transfer policy. Especially with regard to the "international shop window" of all activities. So there is a need for action on the offensive.

progress in the negotiations

Currently the negotiations on Claudy M’Buyi are in full swing. SKN sports director Christoph Freitag is optimistic: "But we are no longer quite as far apart." This suggests that an agreement via the transfer fee is possible promptly. Those responsible in Hütteldorf have to use this option to increase the squad accordingly. Finally, the departure situation has worsened - with the retirement of Guido Burgstaller and the too expensive option for Dion Beljo it is clear that fresh blood is needed.

A change from M’Buyi to Vienna not only seems realistic, but also necessary if you take the ambitions of the Rapidler seriously next season. In addition, Ramiz Harakate, another player of the SKN St. Pölten, will also be courted by various clubs, which puts the sporting management under pressure in St. Pölten.

For sight of the coming season

While the talks around M’Buyi are progressing, the squad planning for the next season is already being initiated under the new head coach Peter Stöger. The coming season will be crucial for Rapid to get back into the success of success and to offer fans the European stage. The first hurdle is already on Sunday - a victory against LASK could bring new motivation to the entire team.

The future of SK Rapid could change quickly, especially if you manage to win talented players like Claudy M’Buyi. A change could turn out to be a very positive step for the Hütteldorfer. Overall, it will be exciting to see how the trading range develops in the course of the negotiations and whether new faces will soon be on the pitch.
