Kalajdzic on the verge of a comeback

Green light – and a compatriot as teammate?

As Sasa Kalajdzic's comeback in a Wolverhampton shirt approaches, the ÖFB striker could soon be getting a visit from his homeland. A column by Rainer Bortenschlager ...

It took Xaver Schlager just over half a year, David Alaba's time of suffering has now ended after almost 13 months, and Sasa Kalajdzic (injured since February), the third ÖFB cruciate ligament victim, has also been given the green light for a comeback - the striker has been back in full training at Wolverhampton for seven weeks and is now fit and pain-free.

Danso wants to move
Speaking of Wolves: The 17th-placed team in the Premier League now also has Kevin Danso on its list. Just like Stuttgart and Juventus - as in the summer (when the transfer to AS Roma dramatically fell through during the medical check), top clubs are once again knocking on the door of the ÖFB defender. Lens is demanding around 23 million euros, Danso wants to leave and take the next step. His management is rotating - it's going to be a hot winter.

In which Marko Arnautovic, only the fifth striker at Inter Milan, fuels the rumor mill as usual. While Florian Grillitsch wants to jump off the Hoffenheim siding. Cologne popped up. And Max Wöber could return to Mönchengladbach from Leeds after all. Which the Germans could probably only afford in exchange for Nico Elvedi. Salzburg is no longer an issue. The Bulls have already been turned down by Gernot Trauner (Feyenoord) and Stefan Posch (Bologna).
