The 23-year-old Marco Tilio is transferring from Celtic Glasgow to Hütteldorf and has signed a contract with Rapid Vienna valid until the end of the 2028/29 season.

In 107 competitive matches for Melbourne, he scored 26 goals.

Marco Tilio "on Rapid Vienna's radar for a very long time"

The nine-time Australian national team player was also in the 2022 World Cup squad but did not play in Qatar. According to Rapid, Marco Tilio is versatile in the offense, also holds an Italian passport, and is therefore an EU citizen. "I am happy that the transfer has worked out after longer discussions and that I can be here in Vienna," said Tilio, who is equipped with the number 7 jersey. "I hope to start quickly here and play my first game."

Rapid's Managing Director of Sport Markus Katzer explained that the still unbeaten second-placed team had "had Marco Tilio on the radar for a very long time." "With his speed and abilities, which he can particularly bring to bear in attack on the wing positions, he will enrich our offensive play." The experience of joining a large and traditional European club is an advantage.
