Sven Mislintat still wants to bring 19-year-old Austrian right-back Christopher Olivier to Fortuna Düsseldorf from his former club Stuttgart, where Olivier plays for the reserve team, VfB Stuttgart II. Negotiations are ongoing but are extremely difficult. The deal may not be completed this winter, a possibility also reported by the 'Rheinische Post'. Mislintat is not under complete pressure to act because the club is numerically well-staffed in the defensive wide positions. Nevertheless, Mislintat is determined to sign Olivier, in whom he sees potential, and will try again in the summer if necessary. The personnel situation will have changed by the summer due to expiring contracts, and more budget will be available. Olivier, who joined Stuttgart in July 2024, has a contract until June 2028 and has been capped once for the Austria U21 team. He has made 17 appearances and provided two assists in the current 3. Liga season. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €500k.
