Austria Wien signs Lucas Galvão

The 30-year-old Brazilian moves to Vienna-Favoriten from Greek first division club Atromitos Athens. Before that, center back Lucas Galvão played in the second German Bundesliga for FC Ingolstadt 04 and five years in Austria.

In the current season, Lucas Galvão has played in eleven of 21 league games in central defense for Atromitos Athens (13th in the table), has been in the starting eleven ten times, and has trained with the club until recently.

Sporting director Manuel Ortlechner: "We have been looking around on the market for quite some time, especially for this position. They were very tough negotiations, because he is a regular player and is also fully in training. We were accommodated by the fact that he wanted to return to Austria. We are now very happy that we can add a lot of experience to our squad with Lucas. He has proven his qualities on and off the pitch as a leader in several countries over the last ten years."

Coach Manfred Schmid: "It is very pleasing that we have managed to sign Lucas Galvão, a left-footer for our defense. He brings a lot of experience and will strengthen our young team."

Lucas Galvão: "I am very pleased to be at Austria Wien. I think we have a lot of potential in the team. I hope that we will achieve our goals."
