Relocate: Move something or someone from one place to another. - Austria's EC rider Querfeld set to switch to Union, according to reports.
Leopold Querfeld, a 20-year-old Austrian defender from Wiener Club SK Rapid, might soon be heading to 1. FC Union Berlin. According to the news agency APA, Querfeld completed his medical examination at Union Berlin in Köpenick. This development indicates that the Bundesliga club could potentially activate his €2.5 million buyout clause, which has a validity window until June 17.
Right now, Querfeld is accompanying the Austrian national team led by trainer Ralf Rangnick in Berlin, getting ready for the EURO. The National Team's fixtures begin on Monday evening, with Austria taking on Vice World Champions France on ARD and MagentaTV at 21:00 Uhr. Querfeld is expected to join the team earlier in Berlin. After this game, Austria will face Poland and the Netherlands in the group stages, which are scheduled for June 21 and 25, respectively, also in Berlin.
Union faces a gap in central defense this summer as Robin Knoche is planning to leave. There has been interest shown in Danilho Doekhi and Diogo Leite as well. Querfeld started his career in Rapid Wien's youth academy. Since the last two seasons, he has become a regular part of the professional setup.
