The Swedish football media “fotbolldirekt.se” circulated a rumour on Wednesday that the Austrian doubles winner SK Sturm Graz on the 24-year-old Finn Santeri Haarala The 1.80-meter tall man on the right wing position currently belongs to the FK Austria Wien “conqueror” at international level, FC Ilves Tampereand has a contract there until the end of 2026. The football portal also reports on a suspected Buyout clause in the amount of 50.000 €.
A difference maker in Finland, sought after by the “(young) Blackies”?
In the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League 2nd round qualification match against Austria Vienna, the dynamic winger scored for Ilves and is one of the key players for the Finnish first division club. He has started every competitive match so far this year and currently has 26 points (18 goals, eight assists) after 28 matches (season over the entire calendar year).
Whether the 24-year-old with a market value of €300,000 (source: transfermarkt.at) but actually fits into the “prey pattern” of the “Blackies”, remains to be seen.
