Christopher Olivier has emerged as a reported target for Austrian Bundesliga side LASK, with the top-flight club said to be monitoring the Stuttgart II right-back.
The 19-year-old defender, currently playing in Germany’s 3. Liga with VfB Stuttgart’s reserve team, is being linked with a switch back to Austria, where he began his youth career. Reports suggest LASK are assessing a possible move, though no fee or agreement has been confirmed and the probability of a transfer remains unclear, with the rumour carrying only a “?” rating.
Olivier, who holds both Austrian and South African nationality, is listed with a market value of €500,000, according to data last updated in June 2025. That valuation has risen from €400,000 in late 2024, underlining his steady progress since stepping up from Stuttgart’s under-19 side to the club’s second team. With no public information on his contract length at Stuttgart II, observers have also noted the possibility that his situation could eventually develop towards free-agent status if no extension is agreed.
Born on 31 January 2006 in Au and standing at 1.87m, Olivier has come through structured academies on both sides of the border. He moved from FC Au’s youth ranks to AKA Vorarlberg’s under-15 and under-16 teams in Austria, before joining Stuttgart’s under-17s in 2022 and progressing to the under-19s and then Stuttgart II by 2024. Primarily a right-back and right-footed, he has been developed as a modern defender comfortable along the flank.
No recent match details or standout single-game performances are specified in the available data, but Olivier’s rapid rise through youth levels and increased market value appear to have drawn LASK’s attention. Should a move materialise, a return to Austria’s top division could represent a significant step in shaping his senior career and enhancing his reputation at both club and international level.
