The Austrian Bundesliga transfer window slammed shut following a frantic Deadline Day, highlighted by SK Rapid loaning out midfielder Andrija Radulovic and Wiener Austria permanently parting ways with Moritz Wels, according to reports from domestic sports outlets.
Rapid Loans Out Radulovic to Hartberg
SK Rapid finalized a temporary departure on Deadline Day as offensive player Andrija Radulovic headed out on loan to league rivals TSV Hartberg, as reported by domestic media. While Rapid actively worked the final hours of the transfer window, the club ultimately fell short in its pursuit of an additional defensive midfielder before operations concluded.
Moritz Wels Makes Permanent Switch to Wattens
Elsewhere in the Austrian top flight, Moritz Wels completed a permanent transfer away from Wiener Austria.
The departure marks another roster adjustment for Wiener Austria as clubs reshuffle their squads following the official close of the transfer window. WSG Tirol simultaneously streamlined their attacking options, facilitating a separate departure that sends one of their forwards abroad to a club in Belgium.
Lower Division Moves and International Signings
Activity spanned well beyond the top tier as ADMIRAL 2. Liga clubs engineered notable moves before the deadline passed. Wacker Innsbruck generated significant attention by securing a striker from Manchester United alongside a center-back arriving on loan from Major League Soccer partner club Los Angeles FC.
Additional second-tier transactions saw Alexander Turkin make his return to Austria’s second-highest division, Kapfenberg reinforce its defensive line with the addition of a Colombian defender, and SKN St. Pölten bolster its attacking options by signing Gabriel Jesus David.
What Comes Next
With the transfer window officially closed, Austrian Bundesliga clubs turn their complete focus back to league fixtures and upcoming domestic matches.
