Will Tabakovic return to the Bundesliga?
TSG Hoffenheim appears to have found a buyer for the World Cup striker in the Austrian Bundesliga.
Haris Tabakovic is reportedly on the verge of returning to the Austrian Bundesliga.
According to news channel "N1", Red Bull Salzburg is reportedly ready to dig deep into its pockets for the striker.
A move within the German Bundesliga was discussed for a long time. After a strong season with Mönchengladbach, where he was on loan, there were reportedly also talks about a permanent signing. However, the overall package seems to have been too expensive.
Most Expensive Over-24 Transfer for the "Bulls"?
As reported by news channel "N1", Salzburg is prepared to pay a transfer fee of five million euros for the 32-year-old striker. Tabakovic is said to be the goal-getter that the "Bulls" have lacked in recent years.
Given Salzburg's previous transfer approach, this signing would be a novelty: The club has never spent more than three million euros for players over 25 years old. Abubakr Barry (now 26) and Dominik Schmid (28) each cost three million euros, while Munas Dabbur (five million euros) was the most expensive over-24 player. Salzburg's most expensive 30-year-old was Barry Opdam (2008/09) for 1.5 million euros.
In Austria, he hunted for goals between 2020 and 2023 for Austria Lustenau and Austria Wien. In his last Bundesliga season for the "Veilchen" (Violets), he secured second place in the top scorers list with 17 goals.
