Xavier Mbuyamba has moved from FC Volendam to LASK Linz. FC Volendam had intended to sell the defender last summer, but a transfer was not completed. Mbuyamba, whose contract was expiring, mostly played a secondary role this season, and the club wanted him to leave this winter to receive a transfer fee. The defender had previously confirmed in an interview with the Noordhollands Dagblad that discussions about a winter move were taking place. On the LASK Linz website, Mbuyamba said that LASK made a great effort to sign him, that they had good discussions, and that he quickly realized this step is exactly right for his personal development. He added that the opportunities at the club are very attractive, the ambitions align with his own goals, and he is very much looking forward to this new challenge. No announcement has been made regarding the amount of the transfer fee.

According to Laola1.at, Xavier Mbuyamba has moved from FC Volendam to LASK on a contract that runs until 2028. The central defender, aged 24, is a former youth player for FC Barcelona and FC Chelsea and made 16 appearances for FC Volendam in the Eredivisie.

According to Nachrichten, Xavier Mbuyamba may continue his career at Lask Linz. Mbuyamba has mainly been used as a substitute at FC Volendam this season and a winter departure is a possibility. In an interview with Noordhollands Dagblad, Mbuyamba stated that talks are ongoing about a winter move so that FC Volendam can receive a fee for him. Lask Linz is looking for defensive reinforcements following the recent departure of Lenny Pintor from the club. If the transfer occurs, Mbuyamba would be Linz's first signing this winter.
