Austrian defender Felix Bacher, 25, who has never played for major Austrian clubs like Rapid Vienna, is strengthening his status, particularly in his native Austria, due to making 20 league appearances so far for Estoril this season. The defender's performances have attracted the attention of several clubs, including Sturm Graz, LASK Linz, and Red Bull Salzburg, but they have been deterred by Estoril's asking price. The Portuguese club will not let Bacher, who is under contract until June 2028, leave for a fee below €5 million—a figure higher than his Transfermarkt market value of €2.00m. A transfer could happen at the end of the season if he maintains his current form.
