Sturm Graz put just 2.2 million euros on the table in the summer of 2022 to secure the services of William Boving. In the Austrian champion, the attacker is now one of the top performers and has also sparked interest in the top European leagues. Mainz 05 and Borussia Mönchengladbach are apparently on the Bundesliga.
At William Boving, the famous knot has really burst in the past season. With eleven goals and eight templates in 30 league games, the Dane was one of the best scorers from Sturm Graz, which secured the Austrian Bundesliga Championship for the second time in a row. He also contributed two assists in the Champions League, where the traditional club already failed in the league.
Clubs from the German Oberhaus are also not hidden from the achievements of the 22-year-old, who is mainly used in the Graz offensive via the left outer lane, but can also play in the offensive midfield or the storm center. According to Ekrem Konur, two Bundesliga clubs are already planning the first offers.
Gladbach and Mainz 05 smell bargains
In particular, the report by the transfer expert Borussia Mönchengladbach and FSV Mainz 05 emerges. In the past, VfB Stuttgart and VfL Wolfsburg have already been said to be interested. According to Konur, the price tag for Boving, which is only under contract by the end of June 2026 in Graz, is just five million euros.
The German duo gets competition from AS Rome and from Nice. The clubs from Italy and France are also planning an offer.
“Football Transfer” had reported in February that a exit clause of around seven million euros is included in the Youngster working paper, which Sturm wanted to rely on. Now the club seems to have moved away from this requirement, however, the U21 international would therefore be cheaper.
In 2022, the native of Koppenhagen moved from his hometown to Austria. 2.2 million euros changed the owner.
