Reiver Sport reports that Augsburg have won the race for Elversberg midfielder and captain Robin Fellhauer

The 27-year-old is said to have a release clause in his contract that expires at the end of the month, and Augsburg intend to beat the likes of 1.FC Köln and Werder Bremen to Fellhauer.

Fellhauer has played for Elversberg for six years, having joined from Freiburg’s second team in 2019. The midfielder was a key piece in Elversberg’s run to the relegation playoff, where they lost to Heidenheim thanks to a late goal from Leo Scienza.

Augsburg, on the other hand, continue to refresh their structure after the arrival of Sandro Wagner as head coach, the club has also hired a new sporting director in Benni Weber from Paderborn.

When it comes to incomings, Augsburg have already made several moves. The loans of Chrislain Matsima and Cedric Zesiger have both been made permanent, while Kyliane Dong has joined from Troyes on a free transfer. The club has also snapped up Elias Saad from St. Pauli for €2.1m.
