Manchester United were looking for a striker in the summer. However, in vain. One of the players on the lookout was Austrian long-man Sasha Kalajdzic. However, the Austrian national team coach and former Manchester United coach discouraged him from this transfer. But the Austrian footballer could still head to England.
Sasa Kalajdžić has had three seasons in Germany and is currently starting his fourth. He may not finish it there. Not only the club is interested in the Stuttgart star. Even the famous Manchester United wanted him.
However, Ralf Rangnick, who now leads the Austrian national team and also managed Manchester United, advised Kalajdžić not to sign a contract at Old Trafford. On the contrary. Stuttgart, he believes, is the right place for his development at the moment.
After all, he is a key player at Stuttgart. He joined the club when they were still in the second division. In his debut season in the Bundesliga he scored 16 goals and added 6 assists, but last season he was stopped by injury, otherwise he would have finished with better numbers than 6 goals and 2 assists.
At the start of this season, Kalajdzic is not scoring one goal after another, but he is showing his versatility and has notched 3 assists in 3 games. And he may soon be moving to England.
the 25-year-old has been scouted by Wolverhampton. Sky Sports also reports that the clubs have already agreed on the transfer and all that is left is to fine-tune the details.
The Austrian international should strengthen Wolves for 18 million euros, and the English club will pay various bonuses. Kalajdžić is expected to undergo a medical on Tuesday.
