Bundesliga transfers: Sturm speed up the attack

Sturm sports director Andreas Schicker has been negotiating with Valerenga Oslo for weeks, and now an agreement is said to have been reached: Seedy Jatta is about to move to Austria’s runner-up, the fee should be more than two million euros.

The 20-year-old Norwegian should speed up the attacking game for Graz. In the current all-season championship, the U21 team forward scored five goals in 16 appearances. His contract with Valerenga would have run until the end of July 2025. Jatta should become the strike partner of the robust Szymon Wlodaczyk: Sturm had signed the Polish U21 team striker from Gornik Zabrze, he scored five goals in the previous six competitive matches.

Lustenau improved in defense

Austria Lustenau signed Boris Moltenis from Wisla Krakow. The 24-year-old central defender comes from France, where he also took his first steps as a professional. In 2022 he moved from the third division club Boulogne to the second Polish division. Austria is now his second stop abroad. Moltenis was committed to Austria “until at least the summer of 2025”, the club announced.
