Austria Vienna are being linked with a summer move for Austria-South Africa right-back Christopher Olivier, who currently plays for VfB Stuttgart II in Germany’s 3. Liga.
The 20-year-old defender, valued at €1.20m, is emerging as a target for the Vienna club as they look to reinforce their back line for the new Austrian Bundesliga campaign. The rumour, reported on 14 June 2026, lists the probability of the deal as “?”, underlining that talks are at an early and speculative stage.
Olivier, born on 31 January 2006 in Au, stands at 1.87m and operates primarily as a right-back, favouring his right foot. He holds dual nationality, representing both Austria and South Africa, and wears the number 24 shirt for Stuttgart’s reserve side. His current contract situation is not specified, raising the prospect that he could move on relatively cheaply or even edge towards free-agent status if no formal deal is in place.
Playing in Germany’s third tier for Stuttgart II, Olivier has been gaining senior experience in a competitive environment, with his club acting as the bridge between academy football and the Bundesliga side. Recent match data from this season shows him involved regularly in the 3. Liga, including a league outing for Stuttgart II in which he featured at right-back in a tight contest, underscoring his role as a trusted part of the back four.
With no official confirmation from either club and no indication yet of a transfer fee, it remains unclear whether Austria Vienna are preparing a permanent bid or exploring a potential free transfer should his contract be close to expiry.
If the move does materialise, a switch from Stuttgart II to Austria Vienna would offer Olivier top-flight football and a bigger stage in his birth country, a step that could accelerate his development, enhance his market value and shape his reputation as a modern, athletic full-back.
