FC Augsburg is apparently about to sign the third newcomer for the coming season and the – as of now – fifth center forward. As the “Bildreported, the Fuggerstadt team prevailed against VfL Bochum on the home straight in their courtship for Sven Michel from 1. FC Union Berlin. The “Iron” and the 32-year-old are said to have already come to an agreement with the Revierklub, but the offer from the FCA is around 250,000 euros higher per year in terms of salary.
Rumor: Sven Michel to FC Augsburg
Michel is said to have submitted his change request to Union at the beginning of the month, and in addition to Bochum, Hannover 96 was also said to be interested. The veteran was only used irregularly in the past season and did not go beyond the status of the joker and was only five times in the starting XI in 2022/23. He had already emphasized in March: “I want to play more football and will do everything to make it work.” Michel’s contract with the old forester is still valid until 2024, according to “Sky“ A transfer fee of around 950,000 euros will be due.

With goalkeeper Finn Dahmen (25) and defender Patric Pfeiffer (23), Augsburg has so far reported two free transfers after their contracts in Mainz and Darmstadt end. In the Augsburg attack, if everyone stays, Michel will have to deal with Ermedin Demirovic (25), who also often plays on the wing, Dion Beljo (21), Irvin Cardona (25) and top scorer Mergim Berisha (25). The national player is on loan from Fenerbahce, but the purchase option – in contrast to that of Kelvin Yeboah (23) – should be activated. Then again, Berisha is considered a candidate for sale if a high offer arrives in Augsburg.
