Valentin Sulzbacher is leaving FC Red Bull Salzburg and has signed a permanent deal with Dutch first-division club Excelsior Rotterdam.

The tall 21-year-old came through the club's youth system and has steadily progressed through the ranks. After three years at the Red Bull Academy (winning four titles), he moved to FC Liefering (36 appearances, two goals), played for our UEFA Youth League team (12 appearances) and our first team (8 appearances). His next challenge will be in the Dutch first division.
