During the summer, there were several interested parties for the 17-year-old Austrian center-back Ifeanyi Ndukwe, with Inter Milan showing interest in the 1.98-meter player. The player rejected the Italian club and instead temporarily extended his contract with his team in Favoriten until 2028, ahead of a transfer to Liverpool in the summer for a fee of around three million euros. In the current 2. Liga season, he has made 7 appearances, providing 1 assist. Ndukwe has 15 caps and 1 goal for the Austria U17 national team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €1.00m. It was reported in January 2026 that Austria Wien had previously rejected a €1.5 million offer from a German Bundesliga club for the player.
