It has been claimed that businessman Acun Ilıcalı may add a new one to his football investments. For Ilıcalı, who has made headlines with Hull City in England and Maribor in Slovenia, the name Austria Wien from Austria has now come to the fore.
According to a report by Ajansspor, it was stated that Austria Wien has been proposed to Ilıcalı and that the possibility of a purchase has been brought to the agenda. There is no finalized agreement or official statement regarding the matter yet.
It was noted that Hull City, which Ilıcalı purchased during its Championship period, has risen to the Premier League, while the Slovenian representative Maribor is competing for the league title. This situation has brought the possibility of Ilıcalı expanding his club portfolio in European football back to the agenda.
Founded in 1911, Austria Wien is known as one of the deep-rooted teams of Austrian football. The club has won the league title 24 times in its history and won the InterToto Cup in the 1994-1995 season.
It was noted that Austria Wien is currently in 11th place in the league this season and is in the relegation zone. How the claim will conclude will become clear with potential contacts and statements that may come from the clubs.
