"For me, it is the right step. We have been having good discussions for a long time. Now everything has happened very quickly," said Austria Wien playmaker Dominik Fitz on Monday in the Krone.

Austria Wien Playmaker Dominik Fitz Leaves Violets After European Cup Exit

The 26-year-old Fitz was already enthusiastic about the North American league a few months ago. A move to the New York Red Bulls was rumored at the time. After the European Cup exit, Austria is forced to somewhat compensate for the reduced income in the transfer market. Fitz, a homegrown talent of the Violets, is considered a sales candidate alongside striker Maurice Malone or midfielder Abubakr Barry. In 204 competitive matches for Austria so far, Fitz has scored 54 goals and provided 63 assists.
