Hartberg loses Damjan Kovacevic to Braunschweig

Hartberg loses Damjan Kovacevic to Braunschweig. The 21-year-old right-back moves to Eintracht Braunschweig on a free transfer and signs until 2029.

What happened?

Damjan Kovacevic played for Hartberg for three years and made 28 appearances in the last season. His contract with the Austrian top-flight club expired, so no transfer fee is due.

Why is this important for Hartberg?

The loss of Kovacevic is a significant blow for Hartberg. The young right-back had developed into an important player over the last few years and will be missed.

What comes next?

Hartberg now needs to find a replacement for Kovacevic. The club will certainly do everything to compensate for the loss of the young talent.

Eintracht Braunschweig's sporting director, Benjamin Kessel, said: „Man hat das Leuchten in seinen Augen gesehen und seine große Überzeugung gespürt, diesen Weg mit uns unbedingt gehen zu wollen. Er soll bei uns den nächsten Schritt in seiner Entwicklung machen“
