FC Augsburg sign Calvin Brackelmann as Paderborn loses three

FC Augsburg have secured the signing of centre‑back Calvin Brackelmann. Brackelmann, 26, joins the club on a free transfer from SC Paderborn.

The defender moves ahead of the 2024‑25 season. He arrives from SC Paderborn, who earned promotion to the Bundesliga.

SC Paderborn will see Brackelmann depart as part of three player exits. The club also confirmed a single new signing to offset the losses.

The three departures from Paderborn were not detailed in the announcement. The incoming player to Paderborn was announced without a disclosed name.

Augsburg expect Brackelmann to add depth to their defensive line. Paderborn must replace the departing centre‑backs to maintain their Bundesliga campaign.
