An offer of $30.0M for Christoph Baumgartner
FC Augsburg have gone to RB Leipzig with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Isac Lidberg is a medical away from FC Augsburg
The deal with Darmstadt 98 is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

FC Augsburg rebuffed over Fabio Chiarodia
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Borussia Mönchengladbach have kept their man, and FC Augsburg go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

FC Augsburg turn down Dynamo Dresden for Mads Pedersen
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Boardroom10 Aug 2026
FC Augsburg go back to the board over Christoph Baumgartner
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $32.3M — a club that wants Christoph Baumgartner enough to be asked twice.

Kristijan Jakić signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Kristijan Jakić and FC Augsburg agree another 4 years.

Kristijan Jakić in a row with a teammate

Fabian Rieder wants to know where this is going
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at FC Augsburg hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

No hiding place for Robin Fellhauer
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Robin Fellhauer, and the manager let it.
