Market24 Aug 2026

Gernot Grillitsch sold, and an era ends

$7.6M from Luzern for Gernot Grillitsch. Money is money, but the dressing room has lost the man it looked to.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Mats Hummels breaks a bone — 137 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 137 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market24 Aug 2026

Mattersburg say no — this time

The offer from Sagan Tosu for Marcel Grillitsch was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

Mattersburg sell a favourite for $7.6M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Gernot Grillitsch was one of the reasons people came, and $7.6M does not replace that by itself.

Market24 Aug 2026

Mattersburg get their man

The chase for Abdoulaye Kanté ended with $1.3M changing hands and Austria Wien out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Andreas Trimmel puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Mattersburg, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Mattersburg

Marc Lorenz was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Too dear: Mattersburg walk away from Salif Tietietta

$260.0K was the most the club would pay and Altach were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

Mattersburg spend $1.3M on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $1.3M for Abdoulaye Kanté, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Market10 Aug 2026

The unthinkable, invoiced: Lars Vogel sold

Borussia Mönchengladbach arrived with $18.1M and left with the best player in the building. The board will call it business; the queue at the ticket office will use other words.

Match8 Aug 2026

Mattersburg run riot against Grodig

4‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Market10 Aug 2026

Not going: Marcel Grillitsch stays at Mattersburg

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Arda had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market10 Aug 2026

Djurgarden come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Mattersburg did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Gernot Grillitsch takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

A $18.1M sale, and a town that did not want it

Lars Vogel has gone, the accounts have $18.1M in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Age has not caught Marc Lorenz yet — 7.83

At 38 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.83 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Gernot Grillitsch stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Gernot Grillitsch and Mattersburg agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Mattersburg

Marc Lorenz and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
