FC Red Bull Salzburg loses a goalkeeper talent: Salko Hamzic joins WSG Tirol. The 19-year-old signs a contract until 2028.

What happened?

Hamzic moved from the youth team of Austria Salzburg to the Red Bull Football Academy in 2019. There he worked his way up to FC Liefering. For the second division team, he played a total of 27 games.

Why it matters

In early 2024, Hamzic signed a contract with FC Red Bull Salzburg, while still playing for cooperation partner Liefering. In the ADMIRAL Bundesliga, he has so far only been on the bench as a substitute goalkeeper. WSG Tirol has a new number 1: Hamzic gets the number 1 jersey.

What comes next?

WSG sports director Stefan Köck on the new signing: "We are very happy that Salko decided to join WSG." Köck further: "We are absolutely convinced that he will develop fantastically with us." Currently, FC Red Bull Salzburg is in 2nd place in the Bundesliga, with 37 points from 22 games and a goal difference of 42:26 (+16). | Stat | Value | | League position | 2nd place | | Points | 37 | | Games | 22 | | Goals | 42:26 (+16) | | Gap to leader | 1 point
