Thomas Murg, a 31-year-old Austrian, is being considered as a candidate by Hansa Rostock as the club continues its search for a number ten to support its promotion ambitions. Coach Daniel Brinkmann has stated that the club is not feeling pressured and will only take action if a player represents a top-tier solution. Murg is currently a free agent and the former Rapid player has extensive first-division experience from his time in Austria, with 181 appearances, and from his period with PAOK Saloniki in Greece. He has yet to be capped for the Austrian national team. His current Transfermarkt market value is €600k.
