Freiburg in advanced negotiations to sign Michael Gregoritsch | OneFootball

According to Sky Germany, Freiburg are in advanced negotiations to sign Michael Gregoritsch.

The 28-year-old is entering the final year of his deal and is unwilling to extend his contract beyond 2023 with Augsburg. A sale this summer is likely as it’s a final opportunity for FCA to collect a transfer fee for the attacker.

Per Kicker, Augsburg want a fee in the mid, one-digit million range. Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing for Gregoritsch, would be the second forward to join Freiburg after the signing of Daniel-Kofi Kyereh.

The Austria international scored nine in 25 Bundesliga games for Augsburg last season as they fought against relegation. A move to Freiburg would give Gregoritsch the opportunity to play European football.

Since joining FCA in 2017 for €5.5m for Hamburg, the 193cm tall attacker has scored 31 and created eight in 129 games in all competitions.

Matthias Ginter on a free transfer from Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Kyereh from St. Pauli for €4.5m.
