Several months ago, the 'Krone' had reported that Sportchef Roland Kirchler wanted to bring Austrian winger Florian Rieder to Austria Salzburg, but the transfer was initially blocked by the player's contract with WSG Tirol. After the Bundesliga club announced the termination of the 29-year-old's contract on Monday, the move became possible. Rieder, who had only made two appearances in the ÖFB-Cup in the current season, was already present at Austria Salzburg's training on January 7th. The official completion of the transfer was announced on Thursday morning, with Florian Rieder signing a contract for one and a half years, which includes an option for an additional year. David Rettenbacher, Austria Salzburg's chairman, stated that securing an established Bundesliga player is a testament to the club's positive direction. Rieder said he is looking forward to playing in front of the fans. His current Transfermarkt market value is €100k.
