The Bundesliga bottom club officially announced that Phillip Tietz is moving from Augsburg to Rheinhessen. Tietz is joining immediately from FCA and will receive a two-and-a-half-year contract until June 30, 2028. The transfer costs four million euros, with an additional 750,000 euros in potential bonuses. Tietz completed the medical check on Friday morning and will join his new teammates for the start of training after the New Year. FCA sporting director Benni Weber confirmed that after several discussions with Phillip, who wanted a new sporting perspective, a sensible solution was reached with Mainz 05 that is reasonable for all parties involved.

According to 'Bild', Phillip Tietz from FC Augsburg is joining Mainz with immediate effect. Mainz is reportedly paying four million euros plus 750,000 euros in possible bonuses for the 1.90 meter tall right-footer.

According to sport.de, Phillip Tietz wants to leave FC Augsburg in the winter, and 1. FSV Mainz is interested in him.

According to 'kicker', Toronto FC from the MLS is interested in Phillip Tietz. The 28-year-old striker has only a substitute role under Sandro Wagner and is dissatisfied. However, it is questionable whether the Fuggerstädter will allow the center forward to leave in the winter. Tietz's departure could be denied until at least mid-January because Samuel Essende will be at the Africa Cup in January and the attack is already thinly staffed. His contract expires in 2027.
