La Liga
David Affengruber dominates the defense of Elche with presence and solidity. This 24-year-old Austrian center-back is emerging as a revelation in LaLiga and is already sparking rumors of a potential transfer.
Affengruber arrived from Sturm Graz at no cost, with a contract valid until June. His growth in Spain has attracted the attention of several clubs, including Sevilla.
At Elche, he acts as a defensive leader. His performance in aerial duels, anticipation, and positioning has earned him praise and the full confidence of Eder Sarabia.
David Affengruber and his role at Elche
At Elche, Affengruber is already a key player. The newly promoted club needs defensive stability, and the Austrian has responded to the challenge with consistent performances in every match.
On September 12, in the match against Sevilla, Affengruber stood out despite the adverse result: his recovery after an initial mistake was recognized as an act of character.
Coach Sarabia has already mentioned that renewing players like Affengruber is a priority. Those familiar with the team affirm that his presence instills confidence.
His potential is also evident in his future prospects: as the market looks towards emerging talents, he is among the most sought-after in the category.
Sevilla monitors Affengruber's future
Among the institutions keeping an eye on this defender, Sevilla stands out. Under the sports direction of Antonio Cordón, the Sevillistas aim to strengthen their defense with promising national and international youngsters.
The name of David Affengruber appears on lists of potential defensive targets for the near future, especially if his contract with Elche expires without extension.
Sevilla, with its defensive history and aspiration to compete in Europe, could offer an ideal environment for the Austrian, provided the appropriate contractual conditions are met.

The contract dilemma and his potential free transfer
The fact that Affengruber could leave freely and without cost starting in June makes him a tempting target for clubs with limited budgets. His contract allows for a low-cost acquisition.
Elche is aware of this and will want to negotiate before the bond expires to avoid losing him without any financial return. However, both player and club recognize the importance of solidifying his value this season.
The unspoken agreement between player and club is clear: if his status in La Liga is enhanced and his performance maintained, the desire to stay at Elche will be more natural.
Yet, if Sevilla or another strong contender presents a compelling project, it would not be surprising if Affengruber decides to make a move in this summer transfer window.
David Affengruber has emerged as one of the defensive sensations of the early league stage. His continuity at Elche will depend on his performance, external interest, and the club's determination to retain him.
