Midfielder Soumaila Diabate and striker Karim Onisiwo were last hardly asked to play for FC Red Bull Salzburg. However, a transfer expert reports that a potential 20-million-euro deal for the vice-champion is already in place. With shining eyes and his father in tow, a young fan stood yesterday in Taxham and waited for his favorite player Yorbe Vertessen. However, Vertessen was not on the training ground yesterday due to load management. Diabate has „made a brutal game“ Daniel Beichler heard about it and fetched the Belgian from the functional building so that he could make his fan happy. Mads Bidstrup was not there either, with a question mark over his performance on Sunday against LASK. A big exclamation mark was made by Soumaila Diabate. In the 1-1 draw against Sturm Graz, the Malian was allowed to start for the first time since mid-March and immediately impressed - earning a „Krone“-note 5 („very strong“)! „Soum has made a brutal game“, praised Beichler, who had many conversations with the 21-year-old in recent times. Onisiwo showed up against Sturm „We have been playing more offensively in recent times, so he was a handkiss. He has been training super well, so it's no surprise that he performed like this.“ Onisiwo should therefore have a good chance of returning to the starting lineup against LASK. Onisiwo's last start was even more than half a year ago. Against the Styrians, the veteran showed a strong first half. „He worked brutally well“, Beichler is impressed by the 34-year-old. „A huge compliment, he did it really well“, he added. A fixed point under Beichler is Jannik Schuster. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 19-year-old will move to Brentford for up to 20 million euros (17 of which are fixed). Perhaps sport boss Marcus Mann was on the phone a lot during training on Wednesday.
