Rapid strengthened its offense with two loan signings on Thursday, just before the transfer window closed in the Bundesliga. On one hand, the Green-Whites brought back Ercan Kara from the Turkish club Samsunspor, a player with seven caps for the Austrian national team. On the other hand, they signed Montenegrin winger Andrija Radulovic from Vojvodina Novi Sad in Serbia for the rest of the season.
Rapid Strengthens Offense with Two Loan Players: Kara Returns, Radulovic Joins

Shortly before the end of the transfer period, Rapid Vienna secures two offensive loan players. Former Rapid player Ercan Kara returns from Turkey, while Montenegrin national player Andrija Radulovic is loaned from Vojvodina Novi Sad until the end of the season.
Kara with Rapid Experience
The 29-year-old Kara scored 37 goals in 84 competitive matches for Rapid from 2020 to 2022. He then played for Orlando City in the MLS before moving to Samsunspor in September 2023. Last fall, the Viennese player only made brief appearances, and now he wants to make a mark again on familiar ground. "He will hardly need any time to settle in," said sporting director Markus Katzer, who also mentioned the possibility of him becoming a future national team player again.
Radulovic "Highly Talented Player"
Radulovic is currently honored with this status in Montenegro, having played five matches for the team coached by Robert Prosinecki. At Rapid, the Red Star Belgrade-trained Radulovic could take the next step towards a top European club. Katzer praised him as a "highly talented player who is also technically very skilled and has qualities on both wings."
