FC Augsburg gets Saad: Fresh blood for the climb!

FC Augsburg gets Saad: Fresh blood for the climb!

On July 1, 2025, a lot has happened in German football, and the transfer periods show fresh potential for many clubs. FC Augsburg has signed Elias Saad from FC St. Pauli for around two million euros plus bonuses in a courageous step. The talented winger sees the opportunity to develop further in his new home. Managing Director Michael Ströll has great confidence in Saad, especially since the offensive play of the new coach Sandro Wagner fits his skills well. For the FCA, Saad could soon be used as a regular player on the left wing, especially with a possible chain of four.

But Augsburg is not the only club that acts actively on the transfer market. The 1st FC Heidenheim has signed a promising talent of Lazio Rome with 19-year-old Arijon Ibrahimovic after collecting 471 minutes in Serie A for Frosinone. Heidenheim CEO Holger Sanwald sees a key player in Ibrahimovic to fill the gap that could arise from Paul Wanner's possible departure. However, Ibrahimovic has to assert itself against established forces such as Jan Schöppner and Niklas Dorsch.

In addition, Heidenheim has also had further access from the Bundesliga: the young Mikkel Kaufmann comes from Karlsruher SC, while they had to separate from Vitus Eicher. Beyond Augsburg, the association still has significant departures, including Mergim Berisha, who is moving to Hoffenheim.

An interesting transfer within the transfer system is the change from Anthony Jung to SC Freiburg. Freiburg's sports director Jochen Saier sees a valuable reinforcement in Jung to close the gap that Manuel Gulde leaves. However, Jung will have to prevail in the defense against set players such as Matthias Ginter and Philipp Lienhart, so that he is expected to provide a regular place at first.

View of the transfer windows

The current transfer phase is particularly hectic because there are two windows due to the FIFA Club World Championship. The first transfer window ended on June 10, 2025 and the second runs until September 1st. During this time, various clubs have strengthened or weakened their squad, and it remains to be seen which further surprises will come to us in the next few weeks.
