Markovic? "I think he already leans towards Austria"
Vasilije Markovic recently extended his contract with Wiener Austria. His international future could also be clarified soon.
At the end of 2025, Vasilije Markovic was part of the team that became U17 vice-world champions in Qatar.
However, there have recently been reports that the Serbian association is wooing the 18-year-old >>>
On Sunday, Austria sporting director Tomas Zorn commented on the matter. "Our task is to prepare and train the boys so that they qualify for the national team," he explained in an interview with "Sky".
"Whether it's for the ÖFB or for Serbia, we will see. The decision always rests with the player," Zorn said somewhat defensively, but then immediately added: "Vaso has a good history with the Austrian national team. I think if you ask him personally, I believe he already leans towards Austria, not Serbia."
Is the ÖFB trying to secure Markovic?
On Monday (14.9.), Ralf Rangnick will nominate his ÖFB squad for the upcoming four international matches in the UEFA Nations League.
He will have to do without Marcel Sabitzer, who is taking a break from the ÖFB national team >>>
Perhaps a young player could benefit from this, possibly someone other associations are also trying to woo. Has Zorn heard anything in this regard? "I have a good connection to Ralf, but I don't influence the nomination and I also don't know who he will nominate."
