Anrie Chase joins FC Red Bull Salzburg from VfB Stuttgart and signs a contract until 2030. Chase, a promising center-back with Japanese-American dual citizenship, spent the last three years in Germany, playing 20 games for VfB Stuttgart and 46 games for their second team. Despite interest from notable competitors, he chose Salzburg, and his multilingual abilities are expected to ease his integration into the team. However, due to an ongoing injury, he will not be immediately available but is expected to be fit later in the season.

Anrie Chase is reportedly close to transferring from VfB Stuttgart to FC Red Bull Salzburg. This deal is almost finalized, with only the last details to be clarified. Salzburg has had an interest in Chase for a while. Chase struggled to make an impact at Stuttgart, featuring in only 12 out of 34 Bundesliga matches and was relegated to the second team in the 3rd league after the winter break. He missed matches from March due to injury. Moving to Salzburg could provide him with the playing time needed to secure a spot in Japan's 2026 World Cup squad.
