Alexander Schöpf

Schöpf has made nine appearances in Bundesliga 2026 - 2027, with two starts and seven as a substitute, and has scored two goals; he has collected zero yellow cards and zero red cards, a profile that points to a secondary but goal-contributing midfield role for LASK.

Schöpf is 32, Austrian and plays as Centre Midfield for LASK. His career covers six senior clubs — Nuremberg, Schalke 04, Arminia Bielefeld, Vancouver Whitecaps, Wolfsberger AC and LASK — and includes a notable fee move from Nuremberg to Schalke 04 for €3,500,000 in January 2016, followed by a series of free transfers that took him across Germany and to North America before a return to Austria.

His transfers feature a single paid move — Nuremberg to Schalke 04 for €3,500,000 in January 2016 — followed by free transfers: Schalke 04 to Arminia Bielefeld in July 2021, Arminia Bielefeld to Vancouver Whitecaps in August 2022, Vancouver Whitecaps to Wolfsberger AC in February 2025, and Wolfsberger AC to LASK in July 2026, signalling stability through free moves after an early-career fee transfer.
