Yusuf Kabadayi has been loaned from FC Augsburg to VfL Bochum for one year, with no purchase option included in the agreement. VfL Bochum is anticipated to cover a significant portion of Kabadayi's salary. The transfer follows a challenging season for Kabadayi at FC Augsburg, where he made only six appearances and scored one goal, partly due to knee issues. He previously had an impressive period at FC Schalke 04 during the 2023/24 season after transferring from Bayern's second team. This transfer represents a new chapter for Kabadayi as he temporarily departs Augsburg, aiming to regain his form and contribute to Bochum's campaign.
