Overview
- The Austrian forward joins Rapid Vienna on loan until the end of the season with no obligation to buy.
- Derby initially rejected Rapid’s approach but changed course after completing Sammie Szmodics’ deadline-day signing from Ipswich Town.
- Club reasoning centers on securing Weimann regular minutes to strengthen his national-team case for the summer World Cup.
- Weimann’s contract at Derby expires this summer, and the club retains a 12-month option to extend.
- He is the seventh departure of Derby’s window and returns to a club where he previously spent time as a youth player.
