Augsburg Hands Crystal Palace a Defeat – Hull City Targets Kömür
The FC Augsburg has terminated talks with Crystal Palace over a transfer of Chrislain Matsima. According to consistent media reports, the FC Augsburg has terminated the talks on Wednesday and informed the player's side. With a further offer from the South Londoners, Sky is no longer expected.
Why is this important for Augsburg?
The FC Augsburg is not under pressure to sell. In the past November, the defender extended his contract until 2030. „We have agreed with Chrislain at his extension that we will deal with interesting offers, a possible transfer, however, must be satisfactory for all parties. This is not the case, why we are planning normally with Chrislain“, is quoted by Managing Director Michael Ströll.
What comes next?
For earnings, the further sale candidates Alexis Claude-Maurice (28), Mert Kömür (21) and Dimitrios Giannoulis (30) could provide. The left-back is heading to Greece, where PAOK Thessaloniki is in the lead. According to Kicker, the third of the past season offers 3 Mio. to 3.5 Mio. Euro. From 4 Mio. Euro, the Augsburgers Giannoulis would probably let go.
The FC Augsburg is currently in 10th place in the Bundesliga, has scored 36 goals and conceded 53 cards (-17 goal difference). The title holder Bayern Munich is 43 points ahead. The next fixture brings the FC Augsburg against Werder Bremen on February 13, 2027.
