Red Bull Salzburg

It was more of the usual for Salzburg last season, as they won their fifth consecutive domestic title as well as their fourth domestic cup in five seasons. The Red Bulls have seen several key men leave so far during the sumer. Manager Marco Rose and skipper Stefan Lainer have left for Borussia Monchengladbach, while top scorer Munas Dabbur has also left, as well as regulars Xavier Schlager, Hannes Wolf and Fredrik Gulbrandsen. Former New York Red Bulls manager and Leipzig assistant manager Jesse Marsch takes over from Rose, while the Red Bulls are yet to bring in any senior players. While their squad is probably still good enough to win the Bundesliga title, they are extremely unlikely to not bring in anyone major. They will participate in the group stage of the Champions League this season and, having waited for it so long, are rather determined to leave a good impression in the competition and will need reinforcements to do that. While the media keep speculating on who their first major signing will be, the Red Bulls are taking their time and the squad they will have midway through the autumn season will likely be vastly different to the one they will enter the season with. At the moment, they look rather vulnerable, but their squad is unlikely to maintain its current shape for long.
