Austrian and South African right-back Christopher Olivier of Stuttgart II is being linked with a summer move to Rapid Vienna, with the Bundesliga club reportedly monitoring the 20-year-old defender’s situation in Germany’s 3. Liga.
Olivier, who is valued at €1.20m on Transfermarkt, is emerging as a potential option for Rapid as they look to strengthen at full-back ahead of next season. The rumour, logged on 13 June 2026, does not yet carry a clear probability rating – listed only as “?” – and there is no indication that a deal is close, with talks and fee structure still to be clarified.
The Stuttgart II defender, who wears the number 24 shirt, stands at 1.87m and operates primarily as a right-back, favouring his right foot. Born on 31 January 2006 in Au, Olivier holds dual Austrian and South African nationality, adding potential future international intrigue to any move back to the Austrian Bundesliga.
No formal contract expiry date is listed for Olivier at Stuttgart II, leaving open the possibility that his current deal may be running down. That scenario could yet influence whether Rapid Vienna push for a cut-price transfer fee now or monitor him more closely as a possible future free agent if his contract status changes.
Olivier has been a regular presence for VfB Stuttgart’s second team this season in the 3. Liga, where his defensive discipline and athletic profile have drawn attention. In a recent league outing for Stuttgart II against opposition in Germany’s third tier – a match played shortly before the 13 June 2026 rumour date – he featured at right-back in a tight game, contributing solidly in defence as his side continued their battle in the lower professional ranks.
For a player still at the start of his senior career and yet to secure a move to a top-flight league, a transfer to Rapid Vienna would represent a significant step up in profile and competition, and could prove a pivotal moment in shaping his long-term development and reputation if the speculation eventually turns into a concrete deal.
