FC Augsburg has signed the German U21 European champion Niklas Dorsch from the Belgian first division club KAA Gent. The Bundesliga team officially announced this on Thursday evening.
Dorsch has signed a five-year contract with the FCA until 2026. The 23-year-old midfielder decided “despite numerous competitors”, as Augsburg wrote in his message, to move to the Bavarian Swabians. Hertha BSC, VfL Wolfsburg, Stade Rennes and OSC Lille are also said to have been interested in the former Bayern player.
