Manchester City’s Juma Bah joins FC Augsburg after two loan deals in France.

Sierra Leone defender Juma Bah joins Bundesliga side FC Augsburg on loan from Manchester City. There is also a purchase option of €21.5 million at the end of the season, which would be a record transfer fee for the Bavarians.

Manchester City signed the center-back from Real Valladolid for only €6 million at the start of 2025. However, he has never been part of their team at any level with two successful loan deals in Ligue 1 followed by his latest move.

Bah played 36 Ligue 1 games for RC Lens and OGC Nice in the last 18 months. The 1.95m-tall defender is a replacement for Keven Schlotterbeck, according to Augsburg’s sporting director Benni Weber.

“Following Keven Schlotterbeck’s move, it was important for us that we make a concerted effort to strengthen in the centre-back department. In Juma, we have signed a talented player who suits us very well in terms of his size, physicality and abilities,” said Weber.

“I’m very happy to be in Augsburg. It’s a club where young players can develop really well. There are a lot of recent examples that back that up. That’s why this move is the right next step for me. Having the chance to play in a strong league like the Bundesliga also means a lot to me.” said the seven-time Sierra Leone international.
