Austria’s goal scorer and top scorer at the U-17 World Cup in Qatar will remain in Salzburg for the long term. 18-year-old Johannes Moser, who previously played for second division club and partner club Liefering, has signed until 2030.
Red Bull Salzburg has signed ÖFB talent Johannes Moser to a long-term contract. The 18-year-old offensive player, who shone as top scorer at last year’s U-17 World Cup, signed a contract with the Bundesliga leaders until 2030. This was announced by Salzburg on Friday. Moser most recently played for FC Liefering and previously attended the Red Bull Academy. The Carinthian will initially continue to play for Liefering in the 2nd division.
“The move to FC Red Bull Salzburg is a big step and a great opportunity for me,” said Moser, who scored eight goals at the U-17 World Cup in November, in the club’s press release. Salzburg’s sporting director Marcus Mann said they were delighted that Moser was staying in Salzburg, “knowing full well that there had been some international interest in him after the U-17 World Cup.” “We are absolutely convinced of his talent and will therefore give him the time he needs to develop.”
