Steve Mounié’s time at Augsburg in the German Bundesliga could soon come to an end, with the 30-year-old Beninese forward reportedly set for a move back to France.
After struggling for consistent playing time in Germany, Mounié is now drawing interest from Ligue 1 side Angers, who are actively working to bring him to the club this winter.
Mounié, who joined Augsburg last summer following his release from Stade Brestois, has found his new venture less rewarding than anticipated.
Despite the initial appeal of the Bundesliga, the Beninese international has struggled to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup.
With only 11 appearances in all competitions this season and no goals to his name, his situation at Augsburg has become increasingly difficult.
The striker’s lack of involvement at Augsburg has led to growing speculation about his future.
According to reports from Foot Mercato, Angers is now preparing to make a move for Mounié, offering him the chance to return to France and relaunch his career in Ligue 1.
The club, which is currently fighting to improve its position in the league, sees Mounié as a valuable addition to their attacking options.
Should the move come to fruition, Mounié would reunite with his compatriot Cédric Hountondji, who currently plays for Angers.
This reunion could provide the striker with the opportunity to regain his form and contribute significantly to the club’s ambitions for the remainder of the season.
For Mounié, the prospect of a move back to France offers a fresh start and the chance to rediscover the form that made him a key player for Nîmes Olympique prior to his Bundesliga move.
With a potential deal on the horizon, the transfer window could mark a turning point in the career of the Beninese captain.
