Vesel Demaku moves to Sturm Graz in the summer

Sporting director Manuel Ortlechner: "We tried to win Vesel Demaku for our common path, but we did not succeed for various reasons. He has experienced many ups and downs at Austria and wants to change from the summer, we respect this decision. If I'm honest, though, it does hurt that the change is happening within the league. I firmly believe that no player needs to change within the league to make the jump to a top five league. We want to continue to have only players with us who are one hundred percent convinced that we are on the right track. I have a high regard for Vesel Demaku and I am sure that he will give everything for Austria until the last second. We wish him all the best for his future path from the summer onwards. I would also like to emphasize at this point that our dealings with Sturm sporting director Andreas Schicker were extremely respectful and appreciative."
