What happened
FC Augsburg have completed the signing of South Korean international Seol Young-woo from Serbian club Red Star Belgrade. The defender moves to the Bundesliga, becoming Augsburg's latest addition as they look to strengthen their squad.

Augsburg have dipped into the Serbian market once again to reinforce their squad, bringing in a South Korean international with Champions League experience at Red Star Belgrade. Seol Young-woo's arrival adds pace and physicality to Augsburg's defensive options, and his nationality broadens the club's commercial reach in Asia.

Augsburg strengthen their defensive depth with an experienced Champions League-level full-back, while Red Star Belgrade lose a key squad member.
