Austrian Striker Gregoritsch's Summer Exit Looms
Whispers suggesting Star Striker's Brilliance under Rangnik's Guidance
In a surprising twist, Michael Gregoritsch, the ÖFB forward and top scorer under Ralf Rangnick with 13 goals, looks set to leave SC Freiburg come summer. This bombshell announcement sends shockwaves through the German Bundesliga!
With only 8 appearances this season, and just one full game, Gregoritsch's chances of securing a spot for the 2026 World Cup are starting to look shaky. The reason? SC Freiburg coach Julian Schuster favors talents like 19-year-old Johan Manzambi. Gregoritsch, who spent the 3:2 win against Hoffenheim on the bench, seems to be getting the cold shoulder.
Market Value Stands at 4 Million Euros
In a chilly comment, Schuster said, "That wasn't brave, it was logical." Sky reports suggest that despite a contract until 2026, Gregoritsch is seriously contemplating a summer transfer, and Freiburg would be open to discussions for a suitable offer! His market value: a steady 4 million euros. Gregoritsch is dead-set on playing in the 2026 World Cup, but he needs minutes on the pitch and goals to make it happen. Regrettably, he's not getting much of either at SC Freiburg. Since his transfer in 2022, his total playing time has decreased significantly, down to 570 minutes!
Loud and Clear - It's Transfer Time!
Coach Schuster praises Gregoritsch's work ethic, stating, "How Gregerl works is nothing short of remarkable. It pains me not to be able to play him." However, words won't put minutes on the pitch. Fact is: Gregoritsch's desire for a change is growing louder, and he's likely to be in high demand in the summer market. Borussia Mönchengladbach has shown interest in the striker already, but other clubs might surface in the coming months. Stay tuned to find out who bags Rangnick's star striker!
