Rapid talent in demand

Sattlberger is about to make the jump to Genk

He was absent from the European Cup opener at Wisla Krakow due to illness - according to information from Krone, Nikolas Sattlberger is now on the verge of a possible move to KRC Genk. The U21 team player still has a contract in Hütteldorf until 2025 and could therefore also bring in a transfer fee.

KRC Genk finished sixth after the basic round in Belgium last season, then fifth in the championship round - and could now become Nikolas Sattlberger's new soccer home.

The talented midfielder (market value: €1.5 million) is highly prized by the blue-and-whites, who won the last of their four league titles in 2019. And would meet neo-coach Thorsten Fink there.

Niki's contract at Rapid runs until the summer of 2025. Before the 20-year-old, who came through the entire youth ranks in Hütteldorf, leaves on a free transfer, his sale could "flush" money into the green-white club's coffers...
