FC Augsburg Considers Jan Reichert as Potential Goalkeeper Replacement
FC Augsburg is reportedly keeping an eye on 1. FC Nürnberg goalkeeper Jan Reichert amid preparations for the likely departure of their first-choice keeper, Finn Dahmen, who could leave on a free transfer next summer. As noted by Kicker, the 25-year-old captain of Nürnberg has emerged as a potential successor to Dahmen, whose contract with Augsburg is set to expire at the end of the 2026/27 season.
Dahmen continues to be Augsburg’s primary option in goal, and initial talks regarding a contract extension have been initiated. However, no agreement has yet been finalized, prompting the Bundesliga side to explore other options. Dahmen may even start negotiating a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs in January 2027.

For Augsburg, safeguarding the transfer value of their €12 million-rated goalkeeper is vital to avoid losing him for free next summer. Although Dahmen has received call-ups to the senior Germany team, he continues to await his senior international debut. The 28-year-old may be considering a move for better opportunities in both club and international arenas.
Jan Reichert emerges as Augsburg’s potential Finn Dahmen replacement
Reichert, who has distinguished himself as one of the standout goalkeepers in the 2. Bundesliga this season, is also nearing the end of his current contract, positioning him as a potential free agent next summer. This situation makes Reichert an appealing target for Augsburg, but Kicker indicates they may face competition for his signature. The goalkeeper’s decision may also be swayed by Nürnberg’s aspirations for promotion. If the Franconian club returns to the Bundesliga, Reichert would have the chance to advance his career without leaving his current team.
Despite the interest in Reichert, Augsburg’s immediate focus remains on reaching an agreement with Dahmen.
