Han-Noah Massengo’s transfer from Burnley to FC Augsburg was officially confirmed Tuesday. The 24-year-old moves to the Bundesliga permanently on a €3m transfer. Masengo’s new contract in Germany’s Fugggerstadt runs through 2030.

In any event, the Bavarian Swabians declared themselves pleased to welcome a player, in managing director Michael Ströll’s words, that lends the squad “more depth and versatility“.

“We’ve signed a highly interesting and very dynamic midfielder,” Ströll noted in a club statement. “Despite being only 24-years-old, he already has a wealth of experience and great potential for development. We look forward to a successful future together.“

”I am delighted to be part of this great club,” Massengo himself added. “In recent years, FCA has shown that players can develop excellently here. The Bundesliga has great appeal. I’m looking forward to getting to know the stadium and the fans.“
