With Dominik Schmid, we have brought in a player with a great deal of experience and footballing quality. We already got a first impression of him in the Europa League match against Basel last January, where he impressed with his attacking style while also demonstrating defensive stability. With him, we've brought in a potential leader, which will also benefit our many young talents in the team.

Marcus Mann

Because this is my first stint abroad, this move is a big step in my career. I'm really looking forward to it! The last few days have been quite hectic - in the end, everything happened very quickly. The conversations with Marcus Mann were crucial for me, as he explained the goals with FC Red Bull Salzburg very clearly. I know that I'm joining a very young team where my leadership – both on and off the pitch – will be valued. That makes it a very appealing challenge for me.
