Markus Katzer stated on Sky that Rapid currently has no interest in selling 25-year-old Austrian midfielder Matthias Seidl. Instead, Katzer said they would like to extend Matthias Seidl's contract and have consistently communicated transparently with his agent about discussing a contract extension after the transfer window. Seidl has 8 caps and 1 goal for Austria and is under contract until June 2027. His current Transfermarkt market value is €2.50m. In late July 2026, reports mentioned that an offer for the player was made that was described as significant and in the millions of euros, with other written offers reportedly coming from clubs in Belgium and the Netherlands.
