FC Augsburg secures two million euros with MBUKU change!

Augsburg, Deutschland - Nathanael Mbuku changes from FC Augsburg to Montpellier HSC. After the 23-year-old player came to the FCA from Stade Reims during the winter break of the 2022/23 season, he could not really prevail in the Bundesliga. There are only three missions and no goal in his balance sheet at the Augsburg Club. After an unsuccessful year he was finally awarded to AS Saint-Étienne, where he even had moderate success and received the chance to climb into the first division.

Last summer Mbuku returned to Augsburg, only to be sold to Dinamo Zagreb shortly afterwards for a small six -figure sum. Now, however, the FCA has used a buyback option and gets Mbuku back to immediately distribute it to Montpellier HSC. With this step, the FCA would like to ensure that Mbuku regularly receives game practice, while at the same time a transfer from Montpellier, which is higher than the original transfer payment to Zagreb.

a good business for Augsburg

The deal brings Augsburg several advantages. While a low transfer fee was paid to Dinamo Zagreb, the FCA can now trigger a purchase obligation of 2.5 million euros in the event of a promotion of Montpellier. This would make Augsburg about two million euros in profit. The situation was similar to Irvin Cardona, which was sold for the same sum, which shows that the FCA has a good hand for transfers.

The positive feedback from FCA managing director Michael Ströll underlines the club's intention to enable Mbuku to take the step back to France. The young player expressed that his time at Dinamo Zagreb would not have met expectations and that he is now looking forward to the challenge in Ligue 1. In Zagreb, Mbuku came in 20 missions on only 584 minutes of play, which did not bring him the hoped -for development.

the look ahead

For Montpellier, this transfer means a chance of reinforcement in the squad. With Mbuku, the Ligue-1 relegated team could now set the course for returning. The possibility of tightening him is not only in the hands of the club, but also in those of the player who now has the opportunity to prove himself in a new league.

With the latest change decisions and developments in football, it remains exciting. Whatever the situation for Mbuku will develop, one thing is certain: the football world turns quickly, and the next steps will cause a stir in the coming weeks.
