Overview
- Brentford are set to sign the 19-year-old Austria youth international from RB Salzburg, with Fabrizio Romano and Florian Plettenberg reporting the move is close.
- Recent reports put the package at about €20 million, while earlier coverage cited talks near £16 million as the valuation evolved during negotiations.
- Schuster progressed from feeder club FC Liefering into Salzburg’s first team and has played in European competition as well as for Austria’s Under-21s.
- Scouts describe a 6ft 3in modern centre-back who is composed in possession and can operate on either side of central defence.
- The deal aligns with Brentford’s buy-to-develop approach and could add depth at centre-back as the club prepares for possible European matches next season.
