Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Thursday at 5 p.m., the scroll bar also goes down in Austria, closing the winter transfer window one day before the start of the spring season. Rapid will be active again in the final spurt. Two more new arrivals are likely to join Hütteldorf.
One of them is an old acquaintance: The return of Ercan Kara has been discussed in Hütteldorf for some time, now the deal is about to be finalized: The 29-year-old, who is currently still under contract with Turkish first division club Samsuspor, was expected in Vienna yesterday, will undergo the medical check today and sign a loan contract until the summer - whereby Rapid has an option to buy.
Purchase option at 1.5 million euros
Facts that nobody wanted to confirm - nor the rumor that the purchase option is said to be 1.5 million euros. Kara hit the ground running in his first spell at Rapid from January 2022, scoring 37 goals and 16 assists in 84 games over two years. Before he moved to Orlando in Major League Soccer.
In addition, the current third-placed team in the table is considering further reinforcements for its attack ahead of the spring opener against Wolfsberg at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday - action is needed following the termination of Ryan Mmaee's loan contract. The contract with Ferdi Druijf has been terminated, and Thierry Gale and Christoph Lang (who is leaning towards LASK) will also leave the Viennese club before the end of the transfer period.
"Rapid player of the year"
Whether Guido Burgstaller will be able to play in the spring is still questionable. The goalscorer is still very popular with the fans: he was voted "Rapid Player of the Year" for the third time in a row, saying: "Thank you for every vote and also for the countless wishes for recovery."
