Luka Sucic has been with us for many years and is a shining example of how players can develop at FC Red Bull Salzburg. He has gone through all the age groups at the academy and became a key performer for us in his time, with appearances at the World Cup and Euro 2024 behind him already. We are very proud to know Luka will be playing in a top European league in future. We will follow his progress from afar and wish him all the very best and lots of luck!
I am grateful to the club and all the people in Salzburg for what I have been able to experience. It was an incredible time, and I have so many great memories, also because we won an insane amount of titles. I have been here for eight years. I came to Salzburg as a boy and am leaving as a man. Although I am looking forward to my new club, it is very difficult right now to find the right words.
