In 1934, Weiskopf moved to France, not only because he was worried by the political situation in Vienna and of the French clubs' higher salaries, but also because some of his compatriots had already done the same, with Eisenhoffer being in Marseille since 1932, and Marton Bukovi in Sète since 1933.
