Elias Havel is leaving Hartberg and moving to Schalke. The 23-year-old has shot Hartberg into the championship group and put himself in the spotlight.

What happens to Havel?

Havel has scored 16 goals and four assists in 33 competitive games this season. The Viennese player is fast and has also developed the cold-bloodedness in front of goal and the fitness (except for the last few weeks).

Why is Schalke the favorite?

Schalke has offered the Bundesliga option with Austrian coach Miron Muslic. According to KURIER information, Schalke is also in the pole position for the signing of Elias Havel.

What does this mean for Hartberg?

Hartberg has taken advantage of the favorable purchase option for the former LASK striker in the winter and can now sell the top scorer lucratively a year before the contract expires. So far, Max Entrup has been Hartberg's record man with around 1.3 million euros in transfer fees to LASK.
