- Marko Arnautovic is a free agent
- Striker in talks to return to Austria
- Rapid Vienna has shown prominent interest
The 36-year-old striker’s brother, Daniel Arnautovic, who is also his agent, is currently discussing a possible move in which the Austrian can head back to his country.
Arnautovic was used as a substitute in Austria’s win in the World Cup qualifying fixture against Romania. In the press conference later, the Serbian expressed his desire to play for the national team in the upcoming World Cup 2026, only after which he will contemplate his retirement plans. With the ex-Inter striker determined to make an impression on the global stage next year, his priority would be to play in a team where he gets a good amount of minutes. As his brother and agent confirms, there is no agreement with any club as of now.n
Talking to Sky Sport Daniel Arnautovic said: “Marko is on holiday and is training privately to be fit for his new club. If there is an agreement with a team, he will join them immediately. Rapid have strong interest. We are in contact, but that’s all it is at the moment. A lot of what is written in Austria is not true. Some of the news about Marko is crazy. There is currently no agreement.”
The forward has scored two goals and provided one assist in the World Cup qualifiers. Austria are currently placed second in Group H and will face Cyprus in their next fixture on September 7.
