Sturm Graz: Departure of Wüthrich and new talents with the overtaking!

Graz, Österreich - There is a lot of movement at SK Sturm Graz. Within a few days, the association has signed several new players and at the same time recorded a bitter departure. The 19-year-old striker Axel Kayombo was brought into the team on Wednesday, followed by 21-year-old central defender Tim Oermann on Thursday. On Friday there was the next transfer highlight with 20-year-old Danish midfielder Julius Beck, who is already the second Dane in the storm team. So the club has proven a good hand in the cadre refreshment and clearly strives to start a successful start.

A real shock for the fans came with the departure of Gregory Wüthrich. The 29-year-old defense chief leaves Sturm Graz after five years and was an integral part of the championship team. In addition to his commitment to the Bundesliga, Wüthrich has also been able to gain international experiences in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. Wherever he is going is still unclear. He may be about to switch to Red Stern Belgrade or the Young Boys Bern, where he once played. In a personal surprise, his fiance announced that she was pregnant. Wüthrich lives very happily in Graz, but his career step could now take a new turn. According to the information from Berner Zeitung, the coach of FC Augsburg is interested in and sees him as a reinforcement for his team.

restructuring of the squad

The departure of Wüthrich is a bitter loss for Sturm Graz, especially since it was considered a top performer. Nevertheless, the team has to react quickly and stabilize the flagship again. Tim Oermann is planned for the Wüthrich position, whereby it is currently unclear how quickly Kayombo and Beck can integrate into the game. Beck comes from Esbjerg and convinced last season - with 24 missions and three goals. It was also sold by ESBJERG for 700,000 euros to Sturm, which shows that the association puts great trust in its new obligation.

The ambitions to perform well and start the season successfully are high at Sturm Graz. The alternating strategies that the association pursues are crucial to compensate for the departures of the experienced players and put together a powerful group. Sturm Graz has already set the course and is looking for further reinforcements that should help to close the gap and to challenge the competition in the league.

prospects and expectations

The short -term and long -term goals have been determined for Sturm Graz: The new talents are to revive the offensive and defensive. The club dares to eat fresh orientation, which will certainly be exciting. Veterans such as Heinz Lindner, who now switches to the Young Boys and has come to terms with the role as number two behind Marvin Keller, leave questions about breeding power and experience that are now to be replaced by the young feet. The new season starts in a few weeks, and the pressure to successfully design this restructuring process is difficult on the shoulders of those responsible.

How the new team will ultimately be on the pitch remains to be seen. However, Sturm Graz has numerous talents and an exciting season that the team could put in their feet with a lot of potential. You can find more information about the transfers in the Austrian Bundesliga on Kicker.
