Red Bull Salzburg sends Zeteny Jano to Regensburg

With the move to Regensburg, the Salzburg native is transferring abroad for the first time in his professional career. SSV Jahn Regensburg competes in the 3. Liga, Germany's third-highest division. According to the club, Jano is to gain playing experience at the professional level there and put himself in the shop window for higher tasks.

The attacking player belongs to the extended squad of the Austrian U21 national team. From Salzburg's perspective, the prospect of regular appearances in a German professional squad also reportedly tipped the scales in favor of Regensburg.

Background: Salzburg's squad planning

For Salzburg, the departure is part of ongoing squad planning. In recent transfer windows, the club has repeatedly loaned out or sold young players in order to ease salary structures and open up development prospects for players. Beyond Jano, further squad changes are expected in Salzburg in the coming weeks.

At GAK in Graz, the club thanked the player in a brief statement for his service and wished him all the best for the future. The club is already planning to refill the vacant attacking position either with its own youth players or with an external replacement.

Outlook in Regensburg

In Regensburg, Jano will join a club that finished last season in mid-table of the 3. Liga and has undergone a squad overhaul for the new season. The head coach and sporting management have repeatedly emphasized recently that they want to deliberately rejuvenate the squad while also relying on talent from abroad.

The player himself has not publicly commented on the transfer so far. An official presentation at SSV Jahn is expected in the coming days, according to the club.
