SV Elversberg is strengthening: Lasse Günther is moving from Augsburg!

SV Elversberg has signed a promising new signing, left-back Lasse Günther. The 22-year-old is moving from FC Augsburg to SVE with immediate effect and already brings with him valuable experience from the lower leagues. Lasse Günther signed a three-year contract until the summer of 2028 and hopes to develop in a completely new way there.

Günther has had a remarkable footballing journey. Born in Munich, he was trained in his youth at FC Bayern Munich and SpVgg Unterhaching. Particularly noteworthy is his participation in the UEFA Youth League at the age of 16 with FC Bayern's U19 team. After a return to FC Augsburg, two appearances in the DFB Cup and five games in the Bundesliga followed, including one game from the start.

Experiences from the leagues

In the last three seasons, Günther has been able to prove himself with various clubs in the 2nd Bundesliga. He played on loan at SSV Jahn Regensburg, Wehen Wiesbaden and most recently at Karlsruher SC. In the 2024/25 season he made 20 appearances, scored one goal and prepared two more goals. Ole Book, Elversberg's sporting director, highlights his experience, pace and offensive skills, which should benefit the team in the coming season.

Michael Ströll, managing director of FC Augsburg, also spoke positively about the transfer and wished Günther all the best. He emphasized that the player has been set back by minor injuries in the past, but is now aiming for a fresh start in the 2nd Bundesliga.

The dynamic transfer market

The transfer market is a dynamic field, especially in the football business. Transfer windows take place every six months and clubs can loan, buy or sell players. The transfer fees vary greatly. In the Bundesliga, which is one of the five most successful leagues in Europe, there was a transfer deficit in the 2024/2025 season. Despite the high transfer expenditure - Bayern Munich topped the list with around 149 million euros - it shows that high amounts do not always guarantee sporting success.

With the transfer of Lasse Günther, SV Elversberg shows that they have a good knack for talented players who can take the team forward. The future challenges in the 2nd Bundesliga are already waiting, and fans can be excited to see how the new left-back performs in the coming season.
