Midfielder Sarah Zadrazil has agreed a new contract with FC Bayern Women until 30 June 2027. The 32-year-old Austria international has been with the Munich Frauen for five years and has won four Bundesliga titles, a DFB Cup and two Supercups.
Rech: “Irreplaceable part of our team on and off the pitch”
Bianca Rech, FC Bayern Women director: “We’d already spoken prior to Sarah’s injury about a potential new contract. And there was also no question afterwards that we wanted to continue together. Sarah isn’t just a central figure and a quiet leader on the pitch but also has an incredibly important role for the team off the pitch. Her commitment, support and hard work – especially in holding midfield – make her an irreplaceable part of our team. We firmly believe that she will still give us a lot after her injury and are really excited to see her on the pitch again. We’re in close contact during her recovery, because it’s especially important during a long layoff to maintain contact and plan things together.”
Zadrazil: “Great appreciation and huge support”
Sarah Zadrazil: “This new contract means a great deal of appreciation and huge support for me. It allows me to focus fully on my recovery, and I’ll do all I can to be back on the pitch as soon as possible. Bayern has become a second home for me. Especially now after my injury, I’ve got lots of goals with the club that I still want to achieve. I really appreciate that Bayern have put their trust in me. I’m really looking forward to being back on the pitch again with the team and hope I can do my role just as well as before. This team is special and what I miss the most right now. It means I’m even more looking forward to being part of this team on the pitch again soon.”
Munich midfield motor
Zadrazil joined Bayern from Turbine Potsdam in 2020 and quickly established herself as a vital cog in the team’s midfield. Born in Bad Ischl, Austria, she has since been a consistent performer and has made 160 appearances (six goals) for Germany’s reigning double winners. The 32-year-old suffered a torn cruciate ligament in September’s Bundesliga game against Freiburg and has since been working hard on her comeback. The midfielder has also been an integral part of the Austria national team since 2010, earning 128 caps.
