“Sky” had recently reported that a bonus was also negotiated with the FCA. The native of Hamburg would now be the first addition to coach Enrico Maassen’s team, who can fall back on four trained central defenders in the current squad, all of whom surpass Pfeiffer’s market value of 3 million euros. For the 23-year-old, the move to FCA will be the second in his career as a professional: in 2019 he left his training club Hamburger SV for Darmstadt, where he played 85 games and contributed six goals and two assists. He also became the most valuable player in the squad.

Transfermarkt learned in mid-May that Pfeiffer had reached an agreement not only with FCA but also with a second Bundesliga club from the middle of the table and that the chances of both clubs were even at the time. The “Bild” newspaper said that defensive power was also an issue at Mainz 05. Now the decision was made in favor of Augsburg. According to “Sky”, FCA has been working on the deal for months and, above all, put pressure on coach Maaßen to win Pfeiffer.
Update May 30, 8:31 p.m.: Pfeiffer has been sentenced to a three-game suspension by the sports court of the German Football Association (DFB). Pfeiffer saw the red card in the 30th minute of the second division season finale against SpVgg Greuther after an assault on Sunday. The verdict is final, as the DFB announced on Tuesday. This means that Pfeiffer is missing at the start of the new Bundesliga season.
