Tino Casali Parts Ways with Eintracht Braunschweig, Aims for Austrian Comeback
After two years as a backup goalkeeper for Eintracht Braunschweig, Tino Casali has officially left the German club following the expiration of his contract on 1st July, 2025. The club decided not to renew his contract, having already signed a new goalkeeper as his replacement [2][3][4].
Casali's future career plans are currently uncertain, but he is currently undergoing a trial period with Grazer AK (GAK) in Austria. The Austrian club is carefully monitoring his fitness after a severe knee injury that saw him tear his cruciate ligament just before the start of the new season in 2024 [1].
Casali has been training and playing a test match for GAK against FAC. The club's sport director, Didi Elsneg, has confirmed that they are keeping a close eye on his progress [1]. However, no official contract has been announced as of yet.
Reports link Casali to TSV Hartberg, but as of now, no confirmed moves have been reported [1][2][3][4]. It is possible that the Austrian-born goalkeeper may return to his homeland for a fresh start.
Casali's only official match for Eintracht Braunschweig came in February 2024, where they suffered a 0:1 defeat against FC St. Pauli. Unfortunately, his injury kept him out for several months, which might have affected his chances of securing a contract extension with the club [1].
Benjamin Kessel, the club's sporting director, made the announcement about Casali's departure [5]. Kessel wished Casali all the best for his future and hoped he finds a new sporting challenge soon. Casali fought for the place in Braunschweig's goal after Ron-Thorben Hoffmann left for Schalke 04 [1].
In summary, Tino Casali is currently a free agent, undergoing a trial period with Grazer AK in Austria. While no official contract has been announced yet, he is aiming to return to full fitness and secure a contract in his homeland. The most concrete opportunity so far is with GAK [1][2].
Casali's aim after leaving Eintracht Braunschweig is to secure a contract in European leagues, potentially returning to his homeland in Austria as he undergoes a trial period with Grazer AK. Despite reports linking him to TSV Hartberg, no official moves have been confirmed as of yet.
