$13.3M settles it between the clubs for Marco Hoffmann
Blau-Weiß Linz have accepted the money. What LASK do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Gizo Mamageishvili: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” LASK have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Dario Marešić 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 The request is on a desk at LASK, and it is not being withdrawn.

LASK rebuffed over Otto Stange
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Hamburger SV have kept their man, and LASK go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match29 Jul 2028
Ryan Ogam’s goal not enough for LASK
Ryan Ogam scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Grazer AK, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Andreas Posch steps up from the LASK academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Andreas Posch has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
In brief
- Market LASK promote Philipp Sabitzer from within
- Market Sebastian Junuzovic steps up from the LASK academy
- Boardroom LASK let a promise lapse
