Official | Rennes’ Fabian Rieder signs for Augsburg | OneFootball

Augsburg have signed Switzerland international midfieler Fabian Rieder (23) from Rennes, both clubs have announced. The 23-year-old joined Rennes from formative BSC Young Boys two years ago in a €15m move. Rieder put pen to paper over a four-year deal with Les Rouge et Noir. The Swiss had a timid start to his Rennes career, and his first season in Brittany was marred by a foot fracture.

Last year, Rieder was allowed to spend the season on loan at VfB Stuttgart. The Swiss got his promising career back on track with Die Schwaben with whom he won the 2025 DFB-Pokal. The Swiss returned to Rennes earlier in the summer, but his heart was set on a move away from Habib Beye’s Ligue 1 side and back to the Bundesliga. Augsburg won the race for his signing in agreeing to a reported €8m transfer fee with Les Rouge et Noir. The Swiss has penned a five-year deal with Augsburg.
