Sturm Graz lead the Austrian Bundesliga with 38 points, just one clear of Red Bull Salzburg, but while the team prepares for their October 10th away clash against Austria Vienna (4th), a potential transfer could reshape their attack. TSV Hartberg are reportedly scouting Amady Camara, the 21-year-old striker returning from a disappointing loan at FC Nantes. Sturm Graz have made it clear they won’t stand in his way—though they don’t plan to rely on him next season.**

Why is Hartberg interested in Camara?

After selling Elias Havel and losing Patrik Mijic, Hartberg need forward reinforcements. Camara offers Bundesliga experience—even if his stats at Sturm Graz have been modest. In 36 appearances, he played just 986 minutes, scoring one goal and two assists. But in the reserves, he was far more dangerous: six goals and four assists in 14 games. At Nantes, where he joined on loan in August 2025, he failed to impress, managing 162 minutes across 10 games without scoring or assisting. The French club declined their purchase option after Nantes’ relegation to Ligue 2.

Camara’s role at Sturm Graz: Joker or starter?

At Sturm Graz, Camara has rarely been more than a substitute. His 36 Bundesliga appearances show limited impact—though he’s shown flashes of potential in the second team. The club isn’t blocking a move, and with no clear plan for him next season, a transfer could be imminent. Hartberg might also target Angelo Gattermayer, the winger who scored the winning goal in the 2025 Cup final but left the WAC without a new contract. In 28 games last season, he netted two goals and two assists.

What does this mean for Sturm Graz?

With 33 goals and a +7 goal difference, Sturm Graz are on track for the title—though their next challenge is Austria Vienna on October 10th. If Camara leaves, the attack will need a replacement. The team is banking on young talents like Lukas Schimmer and Florian Grillitsch, but without a clear solution, the offensive could remain shaky. With 12 wins from 22 games, they’re still favorites—but a Camara exit could force a quick fix.

What’s next?

The Bundesliga season continues, and Sturm Graz have until October 10th to solidify their attack. If Camara joins Hartberg, it would signal a clean break—leaving the door open for new signings. But for now, the question remains: Who replaces him? With one point clear at the top, the title race is tight, and every detail counts.
