On September 1st, FC Augsburg officially announced the signing of Juma Bah, a defender from Sierra Leone's national team, on a one-year loan from Manchester City with an option to buy included in the contract. Both clubs did not disclose further details of the transfer.

The 20-year-old Juma Bah will wear number 35 for FC Augsburg in the new season. The defender joined Manchester City in January 2025 but subsequently gained experience through loan spells, playing for Lens and Nice in the French top flight.

Over the past year and a half, Juma Bah, who stands 1.95 meters tall, has become a key player for both clubs, making 51 appearances and gaining valuable experience in Europe's top leagues. Additionally, he has made 7 appearances for Sierra Leone's national team.

Benny Waeber, FC Augsburg's sporting director, said: "Following Kevin Schlotterbeck's departure, we were very keen to strengthen our defensive options. Juma Bah is an extremely talented player, and his height, physical attributes, and characteristics are an excellent fit for us. Despite his young age, he already has considerable playing experience and has accumulated valuable experience at the highest levels of European football."

Waeber continued: "We believe he can take an important step in his career at FC Augsburg, and we are delighted to welcome him."

Juma Bah himself expressed his enthusiasm about the move, saying: "I'm very happy to be at FC Augsburg. This is an ideal club for young players to develop, and there are many excellent examples in the current squad. So for me, this transfer is the right next step in my career."

"Playing in a highly competitive league like the Bundesliga means a lot to me. I can't wait to get to know the team, train, and play with my new teammates, and to fight for our shared goals."
