Mainz sell wide man to RB Salzburg | OneFootball

RB Salzburg have secured the signing of Nikolas Veratschnig from Mainz 05.

After two years at Mainz, the 23-year-old former Wofsberger AC player is returning to Austrian football to join Salzburg.

“Niki integrated into our squad very well both personally and professionally and repeatedly demonstrated his great potential. At the same time, he did not consistently receive the playing time he had envisioned for his continued development,” said Mainz sporting director Niko Bungert.

“Therefore, we are accommodating his wish to leave, especially as the transfer also represents a financially suitable arrangement for us. We would like to thank Niki for his commitment in the 05 shirt and wish him all the best for his sporting and personal future.”

Veratschnig made 45 appearances for Mainz, registering one assist.
