Trained at AJ Auxerre and passed through Rodez where he played more than 80 Ligue 2 matches, Serge-Philippe Raux-Yao (27) has taken on a whole new dimension. Now in the colors of Rapid Vienna, the French rock has established itself as one of the best defenders in the Austrian championship with 41 appearances in all competitions last season. Modern defender par excellence, this central left axis seduces with his domination in aerial duels, his great cleanliness when restarting and his ability to defend standing up while committing very few mistakes.
Obviously, such a profile does not go unnoticed on the transfer market. The regular performances of Lensois’ great friend Mamadou Sangaré particularly caught the eye of Schalke 04. According to our information, the legendary German team, wishing to strengthen its rearguard, submitted a first offer in the form of a loan accompanied by a purchase option estimated at 4 million euros. A proposal immediately rejected by the management of Rapid Vienne. The Austrian club is inflexible: if there is to be a departure, it will only be in the form of a direct transfer. The suitors (of whom there are many) have been warned!
