U21 European champion Niklas Dorsch moves to Bundesliga soccer club FC Augsburg. The 23-year-old midfielder from the Belgian first division club KAA Gent is expected to cost seven million euros. His contract would have run until 2024. He has now been signed by the Swabians until June 2026.
Dorsch, who had previously been under contract with Bayern Munich and Heidenheim, recently described a return to the Bundesliga as “my dream. As a German junior international you want to be in the senior national team at some point. And the best way to do that is through the Bundesliga “, he said.
Allegedly Frankfurt, Wolfsburg and Hertha were also interested. But Dorsch was convinced by the Augsburg offer: “The overall package with the sporting perspective at the FCA is decisive for me. I really feel like playing at the FCA and the Bundesliga.” For Stefan Reuter, Managing Director Sport, it was a stroke of luck. “We are happy that Niklas decided in favor of our FCA despite numerous other offers, including from international clubs. ”
