English report:
Mika Biereth set to become Sturm’s record transfer
Austrian champions Sturm Graz are apparently on the verge of a record transfer. According to "The Athletic" and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Styrians are now acquiring Danish striker Mika Biereth on loan from Arsenal.
According to the report, the Styrians are transferring a transfer fee of four million pounds (around 4.7 million euros) to the English top club.
Deal is not yet official
Sturm did not want to confirm the deal, which is also said to include a sell-on clause for Arsenal, on Thursday. They are in good talks to bring Biereth back to Graz, they said. The 21-year-old, who has never played for Arsenal's first team, did not have to wait long to get started in Styria in the spring. In 22 competitive matches, he scored nine goals and provided four assists.
The record transfers
Towards the end of his first full season in adult soccer, the 1.88 m tall striker found it difficult to score goals. Biereth only scored once in the last nine championship group games. Sturm's previous record signing in over 23 years is Charles Amoah, who moved from St. Gallen to Graz in 2001 for just under four million.
The Bundesliga record for new arrivals is held by Red Bull Salzburg. The runners-up paid a transfer fee of 13 million euros for French midfielder Lucas Gourna-Douath in the summer of 2022.
