The Dutch striker’s transfer is expected to be finalized on Friday evening. Emegha therefore changes to Alsace for 12 million euros. The 20-year-old is said to have signed a five-year contract with Racing. Emegha moved from Royal Antwerp to Graz in the summer of 2022 for 1.5 million euros. He scored ten goals in 36 appearances for Sturm.
The 1.95 m tall attacker was no longer in the squad for Sturm’s most recent test match against Galatasaray, he was officially absent due to illness. As sports director Andreas Schicker revealed, the Grazers had offers for Emegha.
That of Strasbourg was obviously furthest. Patrick Vieira has recently been on the sidelines as head coach at Racing. Strasbourg, who had secured their place in Ligue 1 late last season, had made the headlines earlier when it was announced that Todd Boehly, Chelsea’s owner, would become a major shareholder.
Sturm had strengthened their attack in the summer with Poland’s Szymon Wlodarczyk. When Emegha changes, Austria’s cup winner wants to be active again on the transfer market.
