Surprise

Transfer? Sturm duo miss out on Styrian duel

Before the Styrian duel in the Bundesliga between Sturm and Hartberg gets underway, there was a small surprise in the champions' squad.

Sturm will go into the clash with TSV Hartberg without two attacking players - on the hunt for their first three-pointer as double winners. Neither Manprit Sarkaria nor Szymon Wlodarczyk's name was on the list for the Graz side. The reason? Ongoing talks with other clubs!

"That's the case with both of them," confirmed sporting director Andi Schicker. It was already known recently that Sturm were looking for a transfer solution for the Pole Wlodarczyk. Now there's also some wind in the sails of Manprit Sarkaria. The Viennese is in his final transfer year and reportedly wants to prove himself abroad once again. "There have now also been official inquiries," says Schicker.
