Oscar Gluch Eyes Premier League Move as Transfer Speculations Heat Up
Transfer Intentions Revealed
Oscar Gluch, a standout midfielder for Red Bull Salzburg, is expected to make a move this summer, as confirmed by his agent, Shachar Gruenberg, in a recent interview. Gruenberg stated, “The transfer is coming; it’s time. I’ll keep the details of when and where to myself. There are several offers on the table, though I cannot disclose specifics. We need to think professionally and economically to ensure it’s the right place. After that, negotiations with Salzburg will have to occur. There are many internal complexities involved.”
Offers and Prospective Clubs
Gluch has received interest from English clubs, though not necessarily from the top-tier teams. Gruenberg mentistartd that decision-making will be approached with careful consideration. “There’s no rush. When something concrete comes up, we’ll evaluate the best option for Oscar, Max, and myself.”
The 21-year-old talent has recently been selected for the Austrian League’s Team of the Season. Despite a challenging campaign at the club level, he has successfully kept his personal performance at a high standard, contributing ten goals and five assists in the Austrian league this season. Gruenberg emphasized the importance of timing, stating, “It’s perfectly fine if Oscar arrives at Arsenal or Liverpool at 24 instead of 21. The decisions will be made thoughtfully.”
Financial Expectations and Market Trends
Salzburg is expected to demand between €22 million and €25 million for Gluch from English teams, significantly more than other leagues. “We might rule out the French league, considering the situation there. However, we don’t eliminate any options. Being Israeli makes it challenging, and it’s a concern for the future generation of players. We once imagined transitions occurring at 18,” Gruenberg lamented.
Recently, Gluch’s representatives, including international agent Rafaela Pimenta, met with Salzburg management regarding a potential transfer for the summer. Having joined the club in January 2023 for €7 million from Maccabi Tel Aviv, Gluch’s current contract runs until June 2027, with his market value estimated between €20 million and €30 million, positioning him to potentially become the most expensive Israeli player in history
