Rise to Prominence
“The boy is a huge surprise,” said Dorian Schuster, Transfermarkt’s Area Manager for Austria.

His professional debut with FC Liefering in the second division has been promising, including a crucial free-kick goal in a derby match.
A Bright Future
With a market value of €300k, Moser’s potential is evident. His performances for Austria’s youth teams and Red Bull Salzburg suggest a bright future in senior football. As Austria prepares for the U17 World Cup final, all eyes will be on this rising star.
