Jeffrey Gouweleeuw Extends Contract with FC Augsburg Through 2026

The Dutch captain will enter his tenth season with the Bundesliga club after proving his value on and off the field.

Jeffrey Gouweleeuw's contract with FC Augsburg has been extended to the summer of 2026, triggered by a performance-based clause in his current deal.
The 33-year-old defender joined Augsburg in January 2016 from AZ Alkmaar and has since made 260 competitive appearances for the club.
Initially set to leave in 2024, Gouweleeuw's leadership and strong performances this season have solidified his place as a key player for the team.
Coach Jess Thorup and Sporting Director Marinko Jurendic praised Gouweleeuw's consistency, leadership, and contributions to Augsburg's recent six-game unbeaten streak.
Gouweleeuw expressed pride in his long tenure with the club, emphasizing his family's happiness in Augsburg and his unique status as a decade-long player with the team.
