According to 'Kurier', Nikolaus Wurmbrand and SK Rapid could end their professional relationship in the summer. The family, which had previously handled negotiations by themselves, has now hired an external advisor. Sascha Emparter and the internationally established agency 'SPOCS' will now handle Wurmbrand's professional matters. The clear goal is the German Bundesliga. Empacher is quoted as saying that only an 'absolute top team' in other leagues aside from the highest German league would be considered.

Markus Katzer said regarding 20-year-old Austrian winger Nikolaus Wurmbrand that they currently do not have an offer and do not have to think about it. Katzer stated that Wurmbrand is important for the team and for the team structure, despite being a bit introverted, and added that they are glad to have him. Nikolaus Wurmbrand explained that his full focus was on Rapid because they had two important games. He stated that he could not say anything yet. Wurmbrand said he has been there for ten years and is a dedicated Rapid fan, commenting that you never know what happens in football and what the future holds. His contract with Rapid Vienna runs until June 2028. He has been capped four times for the Austria U21 team, scoring one goal. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €5.00m, and reports in May 2026 suggested his price tag was €4 million. He has recently been linked with clubs including Anderlecht, Real Sociedad, and Brentford.
