Wolfsberger AC has caught the attention of several Austria national team goalkeepers. President Dietmar Riegler confirmed on Wednesday that the Bundesliga club has received concrete offers for an ÖFB team goalkeeper. Currently, the club sits 10th in the Bundesliga with 26 points from 22 games and a goal difference of -1.
What exactly is happening?
Riegler spoke to Krone about the ongoing talks. The club is reportedly reviewing several options for the goalkeeper position. No specific names were mentioned, but the offers come from players who have already featured for the Austrian national team. The president stressed that negotiations are still in an early phase.
Why could this matter for Wolfsberger AC?
An experienced national team goalkeeper would strengthen the team’s defense. Currently, Wolfsberger AC sits just one point above the relegation playoff spot. The last five matches ended with four wins and one loss — the form curve is pointing upward. Still, the competition in the relegation battle remains fierce.
What’s next?
Riegler pointed to ongoing talks and ruled out further details for now. The next league matchday is on 9 August 2026, when Wolfsberger AC host Red Bull Salzburg. With 31 goals scored this season, the club desperately needs stability at the back.
Current situation at a glance
The club currently sits 10th in the Bundesliga with 26 points from 22 games. The goal difference stands at 31:32, and they trail Sturm Graz by twelve points. The last match ended in a 1:2 loss to Ried on 19 May 2026. The last five games brought four wins and one loss — the best run in months.
