FC Augsburg has not yet sold a single professional in this summer transfer window, which officially opens on Monday. However, that was not the reason why they had to take action and make purchases themselves. And twice at that.
After the FCA had already introduced striker Samuel Essende (26) on Friday morning, defender Keven Schlotterbeck followed in the afternoon. The 27-year-old central defender comes from SC Freiburg, has signed a three-year contract with the eleventh-placed Bundesliga team until 2027 and, according to information from kicker, costs 2.5 million euros.

The DFB team before the round of 16 against Denmark: How difficult will the match be? And should Füllkrug play instead of Havertz? Also: Can Georgia pull off a miracle against Spain, can England finally improve? We look ahead to the round of 16 matches this weekend.

“The FCA stands for courageous and emotional football and therefore suits my style of play very well,” explains Schlotterbeck in the official club statement. “With my experience and strength in duels, I want to lead the way and play a successful season together with my new teammates.”
The transfer of Schlotterbeck, like that of Essende, is already a foretaste of what can or will come. In attack, captain Ermedin Demirovic has made it into the notebooks of numerous top clubs with 25 points, and midfielder Ruben Vargas is also considering leaving. Essende should immediately increase the competition.
Uduokhai wants to leave
The same applies to the defense, where Schlotterbeck could be the direct replacement for Felix Uduokhai. According to kicker information, the center-back has informed those in charge that he wants to look for a new challenge this summer. His contract with FCA runs until 2025.
New signing Schlotterbeck, says sporting director Marinko Jurendic, “has shown in the past that he is a driving force and motivator” and also impresses with “his build-up play and his heading ability. We are delighted that with Keven, a team player with a fighting spirit, is strengthening the FCA.”
