Schlotterbeck moved from SC Freiburg to Augsburg two years ago for €2.5million euros before going on to make 49 appearances for FCA.

Southampton FC have officially completed the signing Keven Schlotterbeck, as announced by both clubs this evening, 27 August.

The centre-half has signed a contract with the Championship club, who controversially missed out promotion last season, until 2029.

One year before his contract expires, FC Augsburg will receive a transfer fee of approximately €3.85million,

With a further €650,000 achievable in bonuses, Augsburg sporting director Benni Weber was largely happy with the deal:

“Keven has always been open with us about wanting to take a step abroad at some point in his career. Now he has the opportunity to fulfill this wish in England.

"At the same time he can build a long-term sporting perspective there. The discussions with him were always open and very respectful.”
