Bundesliga strugglers Augsburg are keen to sell Austrian defender Hinteregger with a move to Premier League outfit Fulham a possibility.
Fulham are still looking to sign a centre-back before the transfer window closes tonight with FC Augsburg’s Martin Hinteregger an option, according to Fussball Transfers.
The Austria international is understood to have been put up for sale by the relegation threatened Bundesliga side after falling out with management, including head coach Manuel Baum.
In quotes reported by Fussball Transfers, general manager Stefan Reuter has claimed that Augsburg would look to sell if they received an acceptable offer.
“Should a serious inquiry arrive, we will consider it.”
The ball is in Fulham’s court then. It is no secret that The Cottagers are crying out for a new defender, having conceded more goals (53) than any other side in the Premier League since they were promoted back to the top flight.
And it is reported that a bid of £8 million could be enough to see Hinteregger make the move to West London.
The 26-year-old has been plying his trade with Augsburg since he arrived from Red Bull Salzburg three years ago, via a loan spell at Borussia Monchengladbach.
He has 37 caps for Austria and scored a brilliant volley in a pre-World Cup friendly against Germany last year.
