Bayern talent Frans Krätzig moves to Red Bull Salzburg – a new beginning!
Frans Krätzig, a talented 22-year-old defender, has completed a move from Bayern Munich to Red Bull Salzburg. The announcement was made by the Bundesliga champions on Wednesday and shows the ongoing change in Krätzig's career.
Krätzig was active as a loan player in the last two seasons. At the start of last season he played for VfB Stuttgart before moving to Heidenheim in January, where he scored one goal in 18 games. His playing time at Heidenheim also included an important relegation game against Elversberg. In addition, Krätzig has already left a slight footprint in the Austrian league when he played for Austria Wien in 2024, making 17 appearances there.
New challenge in Salzburg
The decision to move to Red Bull Salzburg offers Krätzig a new chance to prove himself at international level. He signed a contract that is valid until the end of June 2028. “I want to integrate well into the team and get to know my new city,” said Krätzig, emphasizing his positive attitude towards this step, regardless of the team’s current rankings.
Krätzig will also wear the number 13 shirt and will begin training on June 9th in preparation for the FIFA Club World Cup. He already has extensive experience from the Bundesliga - he made over 20 appearances for Bayern Munich's first team and was part of the first class of players at FC Bayern Campus in 2017, where he started his football career.
Outlook for the future
Rouven Schröder, sports director of Red Bull Salzburg, highlights Krätzig's versatile style of play and sees him as a valuable addition to the team. Bayern Munich's sports director Christoph Freund also highlighted Krätzig's positive development and his path in professional football.
With a fresh start at Red Bull Salzburg, Krätzig has the opportunity to further develop his talent and play an important role in the Austrian league. His desire to integrate into the team promises exciting times for the young player, who will continue to be in the spotlight as Germany's youth national team player.
Overall, this is a significant step for the full-back and will be watched with interest by fans and experts.
