Marco Grüll from SK Rapid Wien is one of the most valuable professionals in the Austrian Bundesliga who will be free of charge at the end of the season. Rumors about the 25-year-old Austrian national player persist and after 1. FSV Mainz 05, SV Werder Bremen and AC Florence, another interested party has now joined: 1. FC Union Berlin. As the “Crown newspaper“ reports, the Köpenickers have made an offer for an immediate transfer.

The amount of the transfer fee is not mentioned, so it is so lucrative that Rapid is having second thoughts. The Hütteldorfers’ original plan was not to let their best scorer – 18 goals in 23 appearances – go early. “Everyone has their price, but with Grüll I don’t see the price that makes sense six months before the end of the contract. “So it’s very unlikely that anything will happen,” said Rapids managing director Markus Katzer at the beginning of the year.

Now the topic could gain momentum after all, because for the Viennese it is the last chance for a transfer and an extension is virtually impossible. “We will definitely have another conversation, but you have to be realistic and say that it is getting more and more difficult. I believe – which I can also understand – that the player wants to take the next step at some point,” said Katzer. Grüll moved to the Austrian capital from SV Ried on a free transfer in 2021 and has so far contributed 37 goals and 26 assists in 116 games. His market value is estimated at 3 million euros, which is only bettered by talent Leopold Querfeld (20) in the Rapid squad.
Grüll could follow Sheraldo Becker (28) in Berlin, who is about to move to Real Sociedad. According to Sky, the attacker will complete the medical check on Wednesday and then sign with the Basque club. There is a transfer fee of 3 million euros in the room, which the “Iron” will collect six months before the end of the contract. The Berliners should also be interested in Eindhoven’s Yorbe Vertessen (23) (to the report).
