Elias Saad surprises: move from St. Pauli to Augsburg perfect!
Surprising changes in the football world! Elias Saad, the 25-year-old striker from FC St. Pauli, has left Hamburg and is moving to FC Augsburg. This step could be the right one for Saad, who comes from Wilhelmsburg and came to the FC St. Pauli squad after stints at Buxtehude, Barmbek-Uhlenhorst and Norderstedt, to advance his career.
After two and a half years with the Kiezkickers, Saad is leaving the club, where his contract would run until 2026. However, last season he struggled with injuries and only made 18 appearances, in which he was successful three times. The new coach in Augsburg, Sandro Wagner, an experienced coach with an eye for young talent, could help Saad reach his full potential. “I want to develop further and use my strengths,” said Saad about his reasons for moving, as ndr.de reports.
A new beginning in Augsburg
FC Augsburg offers Saad the opportunity to demonstrate his game at a higher level. He sees his strengths particularly in his wing play and in one-on-one situations. The change doesn't come without financial incentives: Saad can look forward to a salary increase. “Augsburg has better financial structures,” says bild.de.
The captain of the Tunisian national team will come to Augsburg with a clear mission: in his three appearances for the Tunisian national team, Saad wants to further demonstrate his skills and establish himself as a regular player in the Bundesliga.
A duel against old colleagues
A highlight of the upcoming season will be the duel against his former club St. Pauli. The game at Millerntor will take place on matchday 3 – a reunion that both Saad and the fans are certainly looking forward to. Saad will give everything to challenge his old colleagues on the pitch.
Overall, the move will be sealed with a four-year contract until June 30, 2029; both clubs are silent about the transfer fee. This shows that both the player and the club are invested and looking to the future.
