Thomas Goiginger’s return to Blau-Weiß shortly before completion

FC Blau-Weiß Linz will soon complete its major transfer in the summer transfer period: As the OÖN learned, former Austrian team player Thomas Goiginger is regarding to return to Linz.

At the end of April, the OÖN had already reported exclusively for the first time regarding the interest in bringing the former Blau-Weiß player home. The club, led by coach Gerald Scheiblehner and sports director Christoph Schösswendter, have been trying to sign the 31-year-old Salzburg player for a long time, and now the transfer of the offensive player is really close to being completed.

Goiginger finally made his breakthrough in professional football with the Royal Blues following a strong 2016/2017 season. In 2017, he moved to city rivals LASK and made 242 competitive appearances for the Black and Whites (58 goals, 56 assists).

Last winter, the Köstendorf native moved to Osnabrück in the second German Bundesliga. After the Lower Saxony team was relegated, Goiginger left his home country following only six months – and is now likely to return home.
