FC Augsburg rebuffed over Noah Okafor
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Leeds United have kept their man, and FC Augsburg go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
FC Augsburg make their move for Serge Gnabry
$14.5M on the table at Bayern Munich. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
Market17 Aug 2026
Finn Dahmen moves on
Red Bull Salzburg pay $10.4M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

FC Augsburg baulk at the price for Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit
Hamburger SV wanted more than $5.7M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
FC Augsburg go back to the board over Bence Dárdai
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $10.5M — a club that wants Bence Dárdai enough to be asked twice.

Words exchanged at FC Augsburg
Kristijan Jakić and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

FC Augsburg bring in Ivan Toney from Al-Ahli for the long haul
A squad is not eleven players and a wish. Ivan Toney arrives from Al-Ahli to make the number up properly, and the value of that will be argued about in March rather than today.

No place for Ivan Toney in the new shape
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation FC Augsburg are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
Squad17 Aug 2026
Too much change too quickly at FC Augsburg
8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
