Austria Vienna rejected a €1.5 million offer from the German Bundesliga for Ifeanyi Ndukwe, a 17-year-old Austrian centre-back, before the U17 World Cup. He has 15 caps and 1 goal for Austria's U17 team. This season, he has made 7 appearances in the 2. Liga and provided 1 assist. In January 2026, multiple reports confirmed an agreement for the player to move to Liverpool in the summer of 2026 for a transfer fee of approximately €3 million, which could potentially increase with bonuses.
