Lecce goalkeeper Fruchtl set for Salzburg transfer

Christian Fruchtl is set to leave Lecce, with the goalkeeper close to a transfer to Salzburg. The move is expected to be finalized within the next day, according to Sky Sport. The 2000-born player, who saved two penalties in a friendly against Politehnica Timisoara about 10 days ago, will depart as Lecce's second-choice keeper. With his contract expiring in 2027 and no desire to renew, the club decided this was the last window to profit from his sale. Fruchtl, who was growing frustrated with his backup role behind Falcone, has previously played for Bayern Munich and Austria Vienna, where he won several trophies as a key player.
