Automatically saved draft
The transfer of U21 international Nikolas Sattlberger from SK Rapid to Belgian first division club KRC Genk is complete.
The 20-year-old midfielder has signed a five-year contract with Genk, who finished fifth last season, the club announced on Monday evening after completing all medical tests. According to media reports, the transfer fee will be up to 2.6 million euros. Sattlberger would only have been under contract with Rapid until the summer of 2025.
Former Austria Vienna coach Thorsten Fink took over as coach at Genk this summer. Most recently, league rivals KAA Gent are also said to have entered the bidding for Sattlberger. "KRC Genk is a club with a big name that fights for titles every season," emphasized the Viennese in a statement from his new employer. "When I heard about the interest from Genk, my decision was made immediately. Other paths were never an option. This is the perfect step in my development as a player."
Sattlberger joined Rapid's youth team in January 2018 and made his professional debut in the summer of 2022. The 1.91-meter man was a regular last season. The nine-time U21 international was also called up for the senior national team by team boss Ralf Rangnick.
"Nikolas Sattlberger is a very talented player with good skills who we would have liked to see stay with us for longer," said Rapids' sporting director Markus Katzer. As it did not come to an extension of the one-year contract despite a "very attractive offer from our point of view", the transfer to a "good international address" is to be welcomed. "We were able to agree reasonable economic conditions with those responsible at Genk."
