Salzburg monitoring Swiss Super League's top assist provider
Since his loan move to FC Vaduz, the attacking midfielder has truly flourished. Christian Ilzer and Adi Hütter have also taken note.
With nine assists, Lutfi Dalipi leads the assist charts in the Swiss Super League.
The teammate of Austrian export Marcel Monsberger has been one of the breakout stars of the season so far.
Last summer, the two-time Switzerland U21 international moved to the Principality on loan from Young Boys Bern and is currently his team's top performer with 14 goal contributions.
Austrian star coaches in the race
Whether the 20-year-old will remain in Switzerland after his loan expires remains unclear. Numerous top clubs are already keeping tabs on the attacking midfielder's situation.
According to a report by "TransferFeed", FC Red Bull Salzburg are also closely monitoring the youngster's situation.
Salzburg reportedly face competition from two Austrian tacticians: both Christian Ilzer of TSG Hoffenheim and Adi Hütter of Eintracht Frankfurt are said to be keen on convincing Dalipi to move to the German Bundesliga.
Champions League participants VfB Stuttgart are also said to be another German side to have put out feelers for Dalipi.
Eight-figure transfer fee?
Due to the current loan situation, a winter transfer is extremely unlikely, but things could start moving come summer.
It remains unclear what Young Boys Bern have planned for the 20-year-old. Dalipi is under contract with the current second-placed Super League side on a long-term deal until 2030.
Reports suggest that an eight-figure fee would be required to pry the attacker away from Bern.
