FC Augsburg in advanced negotiations with TSG Hoffenheim for Arthur Chaves

The Brazilian could be swapping Sinsheim for Bavaria shortly if Augsburg can get the deal over the line.

According to exclusive Sky Germany’s sources, FC Augsburg and TSG Hoffenheim are in advanced negotiations over Arthur Chaves.

The Brazilian centre-half has often found himself stuck on the bench at the Sinsheim club so far this campaign.

With fierce competition from Robin Hranac and Albian Hajdari, Chaves can’t find a route into Christian Ilzer’s plans.

A loan deal with a very high purchase option is reportedly on the table for the 24-year-old who is eager to play regularly again.

Besides fellow Bundesliga side Augsburg, a handful of unnamed English clubs have also expressed interest.

However, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg’s report, Augsburg remain in pole position to sign the out-of-favour defender.
