Breaking the Net for a New Journey: Schwab's Farewell Tour
It's time to say goodbye to the veteran midfielder, Stefan Schwab, after a triumphant five-year stint at PAOK. They've bid adieu to the Salzburg native, a master, cup winner, and captain, securing him a place in the black-and-white family forever with 241 appearances under his belt[1]. So, where does the 34-year-old go next?
Is Austria calling again, or is a final foreign adventure on the cards? Since his kids aren't yet of school age, both possibilities are on the table[1]. But don't hold your breath for a verdict anytime soon: "Maybe next week," Schwab nonchalantly reveals[1].
Making a comeback to Austria is Rapid's new signing, the French striker Claudy Mbuyi[1]. Formerly of St. Pölten, Mbuyi joins the club until 2028, costing approximately €500,000[1]. Initially, Mbuyi is planned as a backup for a central striker that Rapid still seeks[1].
Speaking of backups, after the relegation, Klagenfurt's players are making moves. The 28-year-old central midfielder Christopher Cvetko is returning to the Bundesliga, set to join Blau-Weiß Linz[1]. Patrick Greil, on the other hand, is making his way back to the Bundesliga as well[1].
Wattener has the goal of keeping their talisman Lukas Sulzbacher, who missed out on an extension due to a cruciate ligament injury in February[1]. Defender David Gugganig is another player extending his stay, while dribbler Stefan Skrbo is seeking a fresh challenge[1]. Ibrahim Mustapha, however, has moved on, leaving LASK for Novi Sad following a string of injuries[1].
In Hartberg, a new number 1 is being sought following Raphael Sallinger's sale to Hibernian for €400,000[1]. Lukas Gutlbauer from WAC is a potential candidate, but Wolfsberg isn't ready to let him go for free[1].
Lastly, Galatasaray's sudden reliance on Yusuf Demir has become the talk of the town[1]. Questions abound as to why they're taking chances with Demir when securing Leroy Sané seems like a no-brainer[1].

Stefan Schwab, the renowned footballer, might pursue another football endeavor, perhaps in Austria or abroad, as he prepares to leave PAOK after a successful five-year tenure. Meanwhile, the Austrian Bundesliga welcomes the return of French striker Claudy Mbuyi, a new signing for Rapid, who is initially expected to serve as a backup for the central striker position.
