According to the Austrian newspaper 'Salzburger Nachrichten,' Stefan Lainer is contemplating a return to Austria, with Sturm Graz identified as a possible destination. Currently playing for Borussia Mönchengladbach, Lainer is reportedly dissatisfied with his limited playing time and is keen to move back to his home country to gain more consistent appearances. While RB Salzburg is also a consideration due to his past connections with the club, Sturm Graz is being seen as a strong alternative. Despite having a contract with Mönchengladbach that runs until 2026, Lainer's wish for regular playtime is leading him to seek new opportunities.
