After a short period of getting used to it, Dimitri Lavalee has now found his role at SK Sturm Graz.
The 26-year-old Belgian, who found his way to Murstadt a few hours before the transfer deadline, has quickly developed into a reliable player for the Austrian Cup winners, be it in defense or in the midfield diamond.
However, the fact that Lavalee would actually play in Graz was anything but a sure thing. “Before the deal I was nervous because I hadn’t heard from my agent for a while, but then he said that Sturm wanted me. I wouldn’t have accepted any other offer, I just wanted Sturm,” said the Belgian in the “Krone” back.
“I would be happy if Sturm chose the option”
The defensive player is currently on loan from KV Mechelen for a year. However, Sturm has secured a purchase option to sign Lavalee permanently in the summer of 2024 – if you want.
For Lavalee, however, there is no doubt where he sees his future: “Honestly, I would be happy if Sturm took the option, everything is going well in Graz.”
A secure future would also help performance on the pitch, said the Belgian: “If you want to be top on the pitch, you have to be very focused off the pitch too, your head can’t be somewhere else! I couldn’t think of anything better at the moment Introduce Sturm and Graz.”
