Gregoritsch seals permanent Augsburg move ahead of World Cup

Michael Gregoritsch has completed a permanent move to FC Augsburg for a cut-price €0.5 million from Bröndby IF, locking in his club future just ahead of the World Cup. The Austrian forward, who spent the season on loan at the Bundesliga side, made no secret of his satisfaction: "Ich fühle mich beim FC Augsburg sehr wohl. Ich spüre großes Vertrauen, kenne das Umfeld bestens." For Ralf Rangnick, the timing is ideal, a key attacking piece in the squad can now head into the tournament with his full focus on the national team, free of any lingering uncertainty over his club situation.
