Elvis Rexhbecaj has played 210 Bundesliga games for Wolfsburg, Cologne, Bochum and Augsburg so far. The 28-year-old will leave FCA in the summer – and could remain in the Bundesliga. According to information, several first division clubs are courting the midfielder.
Four years end in around three months. Elvis Rexhbecaj joined FC Augsburg in 2022, since when the 28-year-old has played 115 competitive matches (six goals) for the club. The midfielder’s contract ends in the summer and he will move on a free transfer. Where to? A decision is imminent, various clubs are trying to attract the Kosovan international.
Rexhbecaj is reportedly spoiled for choice. Several clubs from Germany and abroad have contacted him, including the two Bundesliga clubs Borussia Mönchengladbach and Werder Bremen, according to reports.
Gladbach already made an early approach in winter
Borussia is said to have already made an approach to Rexhbecaj in the winter in case Rocco Reitz had moved to RB Leipzig ahead of schedule. Now the captain is leaving in the summer, and VfL’s interest in the Augsburg midfielder is unbroken. Werder Bremen have also reportedly thrown their hat into the ring, as have other clubs. The problem for both Gladbach and Werder is that there is still no certainty as to whether they will be in the Bundesliga next season.
Rexhbecaj is certainly looking for a club for the coming years, after spells at his training club VfL Wolfsburg and then 1. FC Köln, VfL Bochum and now Augsburg, he could end up at another Bundesliga club.
Bitter for him, helpful for the receiving club: Rexhbecaj can recharge his batteries during the summer break and start the job with his new employer well rested. The 28-year-old recently missed out on a place in the World Cup with Kosovo in the final stage of the play-offs, with coach Franco Foda’s team losing 1-0 to Turkey in the decisive match. The Augsburg player had played 90 minutes in the semi-final against Slovakia (4:3) and 80 minutes against the Turks. Rexhbecaj wrote on Instagram about the “most painful defeat of my career” and looked ahead: “It’s the start of something big.”
