The hard work has paid off – seven time Germany U20 international Tim Breithaupt has moved to Augsburg from Zweitliga side Karlsruher SC for an undisclosed fee and signed a long term contract until 30th June 2028.
Despite his young age, the 21-year-old has already made 57 appearances in the 2. Bundesliga. Last season, the tall midfielder was a key player for KSC until he suffered an ankle injury and had a passing completion rate of over 80%.
“It was my main aim to take the next step in my career this summer and I am absolutely convinced that FC Augsburg is the right place to do that. Conversations with management and with the head coach gives me a very good feeling heading into this coming season and I can hardly wait to finally get on the pitch and to get to know my new teammates,” said Tim Breithaupt.
“We are really pleased that despite a number of other offers Tim Breithaupt decided to move to Augsburg. In him, we are getting a defensively strong midfielder who is also strong in build-up and gives off an unbelievable calm when he is on the ball,” said Stefan Reuter, director for sport at FCA. “Tim Breithaupt is already very mature for his age and has extremely high potential, so I am sure that he will get accustomed to the high level in the Bundesliga quickly and will provide our fans with a lot of joy.”
