Mads Pedersen Extends Contract with FC Augsburg Until 2026
Danish Winger Signs New Deal Amidst Transfer Speculation
FC Augsburg have secured the future of Danish winger Mads Pedersen, with the club announcing on Wednesday that the 25-year-old has signed a contract extension until 2026. The news comes amidst growing transfer speculation linking Pedersen with a move to Bundesliga rivals TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.
Pedersen's Impressive Form Earns Reward
Pedersen has been a key player for Augsburg since joining the club from Nordsjælland in 2019. In 94 appearances for the Bavarian outfit, the winger has contributed 12 goals and 21 assists, impressing with his pace, dribbling skills, and ability to create chances for his teammates.
Pedersen's performances have not gone unnoticed, with Hoffenheim reportedly keen on acquiring his services. However, Augsburg have moved swiftly to tie down their prized asset, offering him a new contract that will keep him at the WWK Arena for the next four seasons.
Augsburg Delighted to Retain Pedersen
Augsburg sporting director Stefan Reuter expressed his delight at Pedersen's contract extension. "Mads is an important player for us, both on and off the pitch," Reuter said. "He is a great talent with a lot of potential, and we are thrilled to have secured his future at FC Augsburg."
Pedersen himself was equally pleased to extend his stay in Augsburg. "I'm very happy to have signed a new contract with FCA," Pedersen said. "I feel at home here, and I believe that we can achieve great things together in the future."
Pedersen's Future with Augsburg
With his contract extension now signed, Pedersen will be hoping to play a key role in Augsburg's quest for Bundesliga success. The club has made a solid start to the 2022/23 season, sitting in 10th place after 15 matches.
Pedersen's pace and creativity will be crucial as Augsburg look to push for a top-half finish. The Danish winger is also expected to play a key role in the club's DFB-Pokal campaign, where they will face Bayern Munich in the round of 16.
