The club from the City of Mozart, FC Red Bull Salzburg, reported on Friday that left-back Dominik Schmid from FC Basel has signed for them and received a contract until 2030. According to media reports, the transfer fee is three million euros, including possible bonuses. Schmid said that the move is a big career step for him as it is his first engagement abroad, and he is very much looking forward to it. He stated that the last few days were quite turbulent and everything happened very quickly in the end. Schmid added that the talks with Marcus Mann, who described the goals with FC Red Bull Salzburg to him in great detail, were decisive for him.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Salzburg is expected to pay a transfer fee of up to three million euros for Dominik Schmid. According to Romano, the medical check is supposed to take place on Wednesday.

Red Bull Salzburg is interested in signing FC Basel's vice-captain, Dominik Schmid. Schmid is a 28-year-old Swiss left-back. It is reported that he is open to a move to Austria, which would be his first club abroad. There have also been rumors of interest in the player from clubs in Germany and Poland. Schmid's contract runs until 2027. From a financial standpoint, a transfer this summer would be logical for Basel if they wish to earn a fee for him. Schmid joined Basel in July 2023 and has not yet been capped by Switzerland. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €3.00m.
