In the transfer poker for Blue-White goalkeeper Nicolas Schmid, white smoke could rise in the coming days: As the OÖN has exclusively reported, the 27-year-old has aroused the interest of the English second division club FC Portsmouth.
According to OÖN information, the clubs are in the final negotiations. As far as the transfer fee is concerned, the clubs are said to be getting closer and closer.
It is quite possible that Schmid will no longer be there for Saturday’s away game against newly promoted GAK. “It may be that he will no longer be there. A decision can be made any day. If there is a solution for the club and the player Schmid that suits everyone, we as a club will support it. As a coach, it is only important to me that we find a very good replacement. But I have complete faith in sports director Christoph Schösswendter,” said Blau-Weiß coach Gerald Scheiblehner at this morning’s training session, where Schmid was still part of the team.
Question about the successor
If the number one leaves, a new goalkeeper would definitely be hired. There are already two possible candidates, both of whom would be on loan from abroad.
The question of a successor is also currently delaying a Schmid transfer, because only when everything is finalized with the new goalie can Blau-Weiß agree to a transfer of Schmid.
