The central midfielder Madsen comes to Linz from his home town of Silkeborg IF, Karamoko stormed last season for the second team of the German Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg. In the German upper house, the 1.88 m man was on a mission.
According to media reports, the athletes should transfer 1.6 million euros for Silkeborg captain Madsen. The 23-year-old could in future replace Peter Michorl, who no longer wants to extend his contract with the LASK, which only runs for one year. Denmark’s U21 team players, like 20-year-old Karamoko, signed a contract with the Upper Austrians until summer 2024.
LASK Vice President Jürgen Werner said: “We have been closely observing both players since winter, and we even played against Madsen in preparation in Spain.” At Karamoko, LASK was able to learn from ex-trainer Oliver Glasner, who has been the head coach in Wolfsburg since last summer. The Frenchman could replace Joao Klauss because the loan agreement between LASK and Hoffenheim expires at the end of the season. Samuel Tetteh, loaned by master Salzburg, could return to the city of Mozart.
Lukas Grgic (24) is expected to return to LASK. The currently injured midfielder is currently still under contract with WSG Tirol.
