Ghanaian defender Patric Pfeiffer has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with German Bundesliga club FC Augsburg for a summer transfer.
According to Sky Sports Germany, the 23-year-old central defender, who played a crucial role in Darmstadt’s promotion to the top flight of German football, will join Augsburg on a free transfer.
Augsburg coach Enrico Maaßen is said to be keen on acquiring Pfeiffer’s services to strengthen the team for the upcoming season, following their narrow escape from relegation, finishing in 15th place.
Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany further added that Pfeiffer is expected to sign a four-year contract, extending until 2027.
During his time in the 2. Bundesliga, Pfeiffer made 24 appearances, scoring four goals and providing one assist.
He is averaging 2.3 interceptions per game this season, the second-highest in the league.
Pfeiffer, born in Hamburg, is yet to get a Black Stars call-up since the Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced he has officially switched nationality to represent Ghana at the senior level in July 2022.
