FC Augsburg is reportedly targeting German central defender Calvin Brackelmann from the second-division club SC Paderborn. According to information from 'Sky', the club is considering a free transfer for the 26-year-old. The pay-TV channel suggests that the 1.96-meter tall, left-footed player could become a significant target for FCA, particularly if Paderborn, who are currently in second place, do not achieve promotion. In the recent past, 1. FC Köln was also linked with Brackelmann. Brackelmann joined Paderborn in August 2023 and has been capped three times for the Germany U19 team. His current market value is €1.50m, according to Transfermarkt.
