Arriving in the winter of 2024 in Austria at Sturm Graz, he shone brightly with 9 goals and 4 assists in 22 matches for his first half-season with the Austrian team with whom he won the cup-championship double. Discovering the Champions League this season (2 goals scored in 6 matches), he took his team to the Bundesliga with 11 goals and 5 assists in 16 matches.
