Meanwhile, Sakar is currently tied down to fellow Bundesliga side RB Leipzig until the end of the current 2025-26 season.

Ultimately, talks about an extension had been stalled for some time, with a move to Augsburg seemingly imminent.

A left-winger by trade, Sakar has played in nine games in the U-19 Youth League and Youth DfB Cup, scoring two goals in that period.

Sakar started his career with SF Charlottenburg Wilmersdorf 03 before moving to Leipzig where he progressed through U-17 and U-19 levels.
