Red Bull Salzburg captain Mads Bidstrup, a 25-year-old Danish central midfielder, was absent from training on Wednesday because he is in negotiations with other clubs, and Olympique Lyonnais is reportedly nearing an agreement. In the 2025/2026 season, he made 25 appearances in the Bundesliga, providing one assist. The uncapped Denmark international's contract with the Austrian club is set to expire in 2029. According to reports from June 2026, a potential transfer fee is between €10 million and €15 million. A €20 million offer from Nottingham Forest was rejected in August 2025. Bidstrup joined Salzburg from Brentford in July 2023 for a reported €6 million and has a current market value estimated by Transfermarkt at €13.00m.
