According to a recent report by Calciomercato (translated by Sport Witness), Manchester City are one of the clubs interested in acquiring the services of Luka Reischl from RB Salzburg. The same source has also stated that the Citizens are keeping tabs on the Austrian youngster’s development but will face stiff competition from Juventus in pursuit of his signature.
Reischl’s Incredible Rise In European Football
Reischl has enjoyed a mesmerising rise in European football and has scored 16 goals in ten matches for his club’s youth teams this season. He is currently an integral member of RB Salzburg’s Under-16 squad. He has performed remarkably well to earn some added international experience with Austria, having represented his country at various youth levels.
The 16-year-old has featured in four matches the Austrian Under-16 side this term, scoring two goals in the process. With two of Europe’s biggest clubs chasing his signature, Reischl is in for a bright future in European football as long as he can continue improving his game with each season.
Is Reischl A Prospect For The Future?
Pep Guardiola has shown in the past that he is willing to put his faith on the youth if they are good enough on the pitch. The Spanish head coach has done well to nurture a bright young talent like Phil Foden, who is tipped to be the next big star at the Etihad Stadium.
Man City can benefit from acquiring a few more promising European talents so that they can develop them into future stars in English football. Reischl’s acquisition may not seem like a big deal at the moment, but it could prove to be a massive coup for them in the long-run.
The Austrian striker has the potential to become a decent goal-scorer someday so the champions of England will do well to win the race to land him in the future. He is undoubtedly a prospect to look out for in the coming years so Guardiola should consider going all out for his services next summer.
