Michael Gregoritsch keen to stay at Augsburg

On loan from Danish side Brøndby IF, Michael Gregoritsch has expressed hope of remaining at Augsburg beyond the summer.

Michael Gregoritsch returned to FC Augsburg on loan from Danish side Brøndby IF during the winter transfer window – and the Austrian striker is keen to make the move permanent.

Asked by Kicker whether he could imagine staying with the Bundesliga club on a permanent basis, Gregoritsch found a clear response.

“Definitely. I came back with the understanding that I might stay longer. I know the club and the city, and settling back in was very easy,” he said.

“I recently spent half a year playing abroad in Europe, but things didn’t work out as hoped for everyone involved. That’s why it’s a nice story how this move came about,” he added.

Since returning to Germany, the 31-year-old has scored two goals in five appearances for Augsburg.
