FC Augsburg is closing in on the signing of Seydouba Cissé, the promising Guinean midfielder currently with CD Leganés, as the Bundesliga side looks to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season.

Sources close to the negotiations have confirmed that Augsburg has expressed a firm interest in the 22-year-old, with discussions already underway between the German club and the player’s representatives.

The club is believed to be pushing for a deal during the upcoming summer transfer window, offering a lucrative contract to lure Cissé away from Spain.

Cissé, who hails from Dabola, Guinea, has emerged as one of the few bright spots in a turbulent season for CD Leganés. Following their return to La Liga just last year, the Madrid-based side has struggled to find stability and is currently entrenched in a fight to avoid relegation.

Despite the challenges surrounding his club, Cissé has maintained a high level of performance, featuring in 33 matches and showcasing both versatility and composure in midfield.

His consistent displays have not gone unnoticed, drawing the attention of several European clubs, but Augsburg has now positioned itself as the front-runner for his signature.

According to reports from Africasoccer, the German outfit has already tabled a proposal that includes a three-and-a-half-year contract and a significant salary increase, a package that reportedly exceeds what Cissé is currently earning at Leganés.

The Fuggerstädter, as Augsburg are nicknamed, appear keen to finalise the transfer swiftly, hoping to beat potential competition for the Guinean international.

While Cissé’s market valuation stands at around €3 million, Leganés has placed a release clause of €5 million on the midfielder. Augsburg, determined to secure the deal, is reportedly prepared to meet that figure if necessary.

The player’s representatives are now assessing Augsburg’s sporting project, weighing the long-term vision of the club and the development opportunities it presents for their client.

From Cissé’s perspective, a move to the Bundesliga represents an exciting prospect, and sources suggest he is open to making the switch should the clubs reach an agreement.

Cissé’s rise began at FC Atouga Academy in Guinea before making his way to Spain, where he developed further with Leganés.

His technical ability, tactical awareness, and work ethic have made him a standout player in a struggling side and a potential asset for any club seeking midfield reinforcement.

Moussa Théa, a figure close to the player, has hinted that a move to Germany would be a “perfect fit” for Cissé at this stage in his career, suggesting that Augsburg’s interest is well-aligned with the ambitions of the young midfielder.

As talks progress, all eyes are now on Augsburg’s ability to convince Leganés to part with one of their most promising talents. The German club’s proactive approach and the appeal of Bundesliga football may prove decisive in the coming weeks.

For now, Seydouba Cissé’s future hangs in the balance, but the momentum appears to be shifting firmly in the direction of Bavaria.
