FC Augsburg made a staggering profit of over 100-fold by selling Belgian midfielder Arne Engels to Celtic Glasgow for over 13 million euros. Engels, who joined Augsburg in January 2023 for a mere 100,000 euros, played 51 Bundesliga games, scoring 3 goals, and had a contract until 2027. Coach Jess Thorup confirmed the transfer ahead of the Bundesliga game against 1. FC Heidenheim, while Engels underwent a medical check-up in Glasgow.
In replacement, Augsburg secured the versatile midfielder Alexis Claude-Maurice from OGC Nice on a contract until 2027, aiming to enhance their offensive gameplay. Claude-Maurice, a 26-year-old French player with 102 top-flight appearances, 10 goals, and 11 assists, is seen by the Sports Director Jurendic as a key addition.
The club also acquired Onyeka and Matsima in their bid to strengthen the squad.
