Overview

• Lokalzeitung WAZ initially reported a one‑year loan of Yusuf Kabadayi from FC Augsburg to VfL Bochum without a purchase option and with Augsburg covering part of his wages.
• WAZ later pulled back its claim, and Sky reported that the transfer would not take place.
• Kabadayi remains under contract at Augsburg until 2028 after joining from a loan stint at Schalke following his Bayern academy development.
• The 21‑year‑old has seen limited minutes at Augsburg, with last season disrupted by a knee operation and minor issues reported this season.
• Bochum has been assessing options for offensive depth after Moritz Broschinski’s departure, which explains why Kabadayi was considered.
