Young-woo Seol, according to Sky Germany's sources, is on the brink of completing his transfer to FC Augsburg.

A full agreement has been reached between the Bundesliga club based in Bavaria and Seol's current employers Red Star Belgrade. 

Augsburg will reportedly take €3.75million out of their coffers for the right-back who is a 37-time South Korean international.

As for Serbian outfit Red Star, they have secured a 5 percent sell-on clause should the 27-year-old leave Augsburg in the future.

At Augsburg, Seol is expected to sign a contract until 2030, provided his medical within 48 hours all goes according to plan. 

Last season, Seol made 27 appearances for Red Star in the Super Liga Srbije, scoring a solitary goal alongside 5 assists.
