Sasa Kalajdzic is unlikely to see game time at Wolves, and so a move away makes sense for all parties.
While the transfer window is closed across most of Europe, there are still a few leagues where business can still be done.
On Thursday afternoon, Kalajdzic’s potential next club emerged, and spending this season away from Molineux became a reality, and it seems a deal has now been agreed.
The transfer is only a loan deal, and details have come out about Sasa Kalajdzic’s move and what Wolves might have to do to facilitate it.
Wolves will have to pay most of Sasa Kalajdzic’s wages at LASK
Austrian club LASK are set to sign Sasa Kalajdzic with the Austrian transfer window closing on Friday, 5th of September, according to TalkSPORT journalist Alex Crook.
Additionally, according to Austrian publication Krone, Kalajdzic has been spotted in Linz ahead of the potential transfer and is expected to complete a medical today.
However, the report also gives further details about the overall agreement saying that Wolves may have to pay most of the forward’s wages.
It says, ‘the transfer only seems possible if the Premier League club continues to pay a large portion of the 28-year-old’s current salary.’
While Wolves would likely have wanted to move Kalajdzic on permanently, with few options left for the player, they may have to accept these terms.
Both the player and the Old Gold will be hoping this move can kick-start the forward’s career again after returning from his third ACL injury, and to become the player he once was at Stuttgart.
Getting some of Sasa Kalajdzic’s wages off the books is still positive
While it might not be ideal for Wolves to pay the majority of Sasa’s wages, it is still a positive.
The player would have been a fringe option, and would have received few minutes across the season. Therefore, having him around and his full wages on the books would be money wasted.
The move works for all parties. Wolves save themselves some money, and Kalajdzic gets a chance to receive more game time.
It would likely be the final exit at Molineux this season, and ending what Jeff Shi described as a ‘good window’ for Wolves.
