RB Leipzig inquires about Finn Dahmen – Augsburg stays calm
FC Augsburg has no need to worry about their goalkeeper Finn Dahmen. Despite interest from RB Leipzig, the 28-year-old keeper shows no signs of wanting to leave the club. The Saxons have reportedly inquired about the player, as reported by „Kicker“. Dahmen, who established himself as one of the Bundesliga's best goalkeepers last season with 45 goals scored and 61 conceded (-16 goal difference), is under contract with Augsburg until 2027.
Why RB Leipzig is interested in Dahmen
RB Leipzig is looking for reinforcements in goal, especially after Peter Gulacsi is reportedly set to join FC Villarreal. However, the inquiry about Dahmen was made independently of Gulacsi's situation, as the 28-year-old is planned as the second-choice keeper behind Maarten Vandevoordt next season. A move for Dahmen, who has been nominated for the German national team multiple times, would likely be a step back, as he plays regularly at Augsburg and can continue to recommend himself for the national squad.
What this means for Augsburg
FC Augsburg sees no reason to worry, as Finn Dahmen is happy at the club and has no intention of leaving. A transfer seems unlikely in the short term. However, RB Leipzig's interest could be a look ahead to the future, as Dahmen's contract expires in 2027, making him available for a free transfer. With a market value of twelve million euros, Dahmen remains a sought-after player.
Augsburg's current situation
FC Augsburg finished the last season in 9th place in the Bundesliga with 43 points (12 wins, 7 draws, 15 losses). Their recent form has been poor, with two consecutive losses, most recently a 0-4 defeat against Union Berlin. Their next match is on September 19, 2026, away against Werder Bremen.
