Ferdinand I was against marrying one of his daughters to Philip so no way. Claude of Valois was physically unfit so she also is out of question.
Renata of Lorraine is the likeliest choice in my opinion
He was engaged to her elder sister Elizabeth OTL (in 1494 before their deaths) and so he would likely get Mary as replacement bride (and in any case Eleanor is far too young for him, considering his situation)

We will see… things will become complicated (Ferdinand II will soon get another ally not exactly friendly to Austria) but in the end he and Max will agree to a deal… we have still more seven years until the OTL death of Ferdinand II…
Charles, well, right now is eight and had not taken well some...
