Augsburg loans Yannik Keitel again - transfer complete

Augsburg loans Yannik Keitel again from VfB Stuttgart. The 26-year-old will also play for the Fuggerstädter in the 2026/2027 season.

What does this mean for Augsburg?

The FCA also secured a purchase option as part of the deal - a longer stay for the midfielder is therefore possible.

Yannik Keitel already played on loan for Augsburg in the previous second half of the season. However, this half-season was anything but smooth: muscular problems and a knee injury constantly slowed him down.

How does Yannik Keitel react to the new loan?

„Yannik has shown in the past second half of the season that he fits very well into our team with his exceptional character“, FCA sports director Benjamin Weber is quoted.

What's next for Yannik Keitel?

If he has an injury-free season, the loan could even become a permanent commitment thanks to the agreed purchase option. Yannik Keitel moved to VfB Stuttgart from SC Freiburg in 2024 without a transfer fee.
