Graz reserve coach Christoph Wurm said in an interview with Kleinen Zeitung about the Austrian central midfielder that it was not surprising there were opportunities for him to go abroad. Wurm also said that the midfielder opted to stay with Sturm as he recognizes that the club is the right place for him, where he can develop individually. The 16-year-old renewed his contract in June. Weinhandl has 13 caps for the Austria U17 national team. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €600k. He has recorded one goal and one assist in nine appearances in the 2. Liga this season.
