Salzburg’s sports director Christoph Freund is preparing for a potentially lively transfer summer after the double. “I don’t rule out that a lot will happen to us. Some players are at a very high level and they keep showing that they are interesting for really good international clubs, ”said Freund on Friday. He knows the mechanisms of the market and customs here. “It won’t be boring.”

The sports director did not want to be too specific in terms of names, according to reports, the two Zambia team players Patson Daka (22) and Enock Mwepu (23) are possible jump candidates. Striker Daka was recently said to be able to move to Leipzig together with coach Jesse Marsch, but there is currently no request from Saxony, according to Freund. The central defenders Andre Ramalho and Maximilian Wöber are also at least interested in other leagues.
Salzburg, in turn, is interested in a further commitment of the defensive all-rounder Bernardo, who is currently on loan, and talks with his parent club Brighton are to follow. In addition, a whole armada of tied players was last loaned out. “Some guys made very good use of the stage,” said Freund.
As is well known, the Salzburg team caught the departure of coach Jesse Marsch internally with Liefering coach Matthias Jaissle. That all club goals were achieved afterwards, Freund let his hat off publicly on Friday. “There has been coach damage in many clubs, including in Germany, where you can see that it doesn’t always happen that easily. Some of us may have hoped that we would break in or have an effect. “
But the result shows “how focused Jesse and the team were,” said Freund. “Even though it was short-term, we managed it well, with one of our best performances we became cup winners and won the championship title with ease.” The sports director didn’t want to know anything about a sure-fire success. “It was absolutely not a given that we made it. The season was not always easy due to Covid and the doping bans. “
