Saša Kalamjdžić can help wolverhampton wanderers Ensure a return to the Premier League next season.
The Austria international has suffered two serious injuries since joining Wolves from VfB Stuttgart in August 2022.
This limited his playing time at Molineux and he spent the last season on loan at LASK. The striker scored seven goals and 11 assists in 27 matches and won both the title and the Austrian Cup.
On 28 May, Game Witness Covered claims from Austria Schalke manager Miron Muslic is interested in signing him this summer.
Two days later, the frontman insisted he would return to Wolves after the World Cup.
That time, He said: : “After the World Cup, I'll be a Wolverhampton player. As things stand now, I'll go back.
"For me personally, what happens after the World Cup is secondary. Anything other than Austria is irrelevant right now. There have been 1,000 rumors in my career. They don't bother me anymore. I try to live in the here and now."
Why are Wolves players struggling to attract clubs?
Sky Germany journalist Philip Hinz took xTo explain what was formerly known as Twitter,
Failure to receive concrete offer to Saša Kalamjdžić.
His contract expires in 2027 with the option of a further year. Therefore, the fee required to sign him would be in the 'low single digit millions'. The price will be less than €5m.
He earns €4m per year with Cesar Peixoto's team and that will drop further due to his demotion. Despite this, it is 'still a top contract'.
Therefore, Hinz says the 28-year-old may not find 'anything financially comparable' in Europe.
In short, they don't have any offers that are equal to or close to their current salary. If the Wolves man were to join a new club, it would have to be on a reduced salary.
Wolves player has to make a decision
Saša Kalamjdžić may have realized that the club are unwilling to match his current salary. He will have to take a pay cut to join the new club.
If not, the Austrian will have to play in the Championship and help Wolves return to the top flight in 2027. This may not favor Wolves, who may look to cash in from his sale in this window.
He came off the bench to score a late equalizer against Algeria. This point helped Austria book a place in the last 32 of the World Cup.
