Augsburg ‘in advanced talks’ with Hoffenheim over Arthur Chaves | OneFootball

Sky Germany reports that Augsburg and Hoffenheim are in advanced negotiations over Arthur Chaves, and that Augsburg remain in pole position to sign him.

The Brazilian centre-back has been largely on the bench for the Sinsheim club this season.

With competition from Robin Hranac and Albian Hajdari, he has struggled to break into Christian Ilzer's plans.

A loan with a very high purchase option is being discussed. The 24-year-old is keen to play regularly again.

Some unnamed English clubs have also shown interest.
