The countdown to the new Bundesliga season underway and the 18 clubs are busy making their moves in the transfer market. Stay up to date with the latest transfer business of each club in Germany's top-flight.
Arminia Bielefeld
Ins: Guilherme Ramos, Bryan Lasme, Masaya Okugawa, Florian Krueger, Janni Serra, Alessandro Schoepf, Sebastian Vasiliadis
Outs: Joey Mueller, Anderson Lucoqui, Joan Edmundsson, Cebio Soukou, Sven Schipplock, Andreas Voglsammer, Can Ozkan, Nils Seufert, Mervin Kalac, Reinhold Yabo, Nikolai Rehnen, Noel Niemann (loan),
Key signing: Ramos, a 23year- old centre- back signed from Potugese side Feirense, should add more quality to the back line.
Augsburg
Ins: Niklas Dorsch, Daniel Klein, Lasse Guenther
Outs: Rani Khedira, Marek Suchy, Julien Schieber, Jozo Stanich (loan), Lukas Petkov (loan), Benjamin Leneis (loan)
Key signing: The €8m arrival of Dorsch from Gent gives the side quality in and out of possession in front of the defence.
Bayer Leverkusen
Ins: Odilon Kossounou, Mitchel Bakker, Zidan Sertdemir, Andrey Lunev
Outs: Tin Jedvaj, Demarai Gray, Aleksander Dragovic, Cem Tuerkmen, Lars Bender, Sven Bender, Yannick Schloesser (loan)
Key signing: At €23m, Kossounou represents a huge outlay for a 20-year-old defender with no experience og German football.
Bayern Munich
Ins: Dayot Upamecano, Omar Richards, Sven Ulreich
Outs: David Alaba, Jerome Boateng, Javi Martinez, Alexander Nübel (loan), Lars Lukas Mai (loan), Adrian Fein (loan)
Key signing: Upamecano, at €42.5m, didn’t come cheap from
Leipzig, but with Alaba and Boateng now gone, he will be crucial.
Bochum
Ins: Partick Osterhager, Christopher Antwi- Adjei, Michael Esser, Eduard Loewen (loan), Takuma Asano
Outs: Robert Zulj, Patrick Drewes, Lars Holtkamp, Thomas Eisfeld
Key signing: Antwi-Adjei will add much-needed pace and goal threat from the left wing.
Borussia Dortmund
Ins: Donyell Malen, Gregor Kobel, Soumaila Koulibaly, Abdoulaye Kamara,
Outs: Jadon Sancho, Leonardo Balerdi, Jeremy Toljan, Sergio Gomez, Lukas Piszczek
Key signing: Malen should help soften the blow of losing Sancho, and, after an impressive Euros, seems a savvy investment, even at €30m
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Ins: Hannes Wolf
Outs: Oscar Wendt, Max Grün, Moritz Nicolas, Michael Lang, Imbrahima Traore, Julio Villalba
Key signing: Wolf will add pace and creativity behind the striker, and comes with Bundesliga experience from RB Leipzig.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Ins: Jesper Lindström, Jens Grahl, Christopher Lenz, Fabio Blanco, Rafael Borre, Giant Ramaj, Enrique Garcia,
Outs: Andre Silva, Frederik Roennow, Yannick Brugger, Jetro Willems, Lukas Fahrnberger, Jabez Makanda, Elias Boerdner (loan)
Key signing: Lindström arrives from Brondy as one of Denmark’s most exciting young creators – 21 goals in 53 senor appearances to date is testament to his quality in front of goal, too.
Cologne
Ins: Mark Uth, Marvin Schwaebe, Dejan Ljubicic, Timo Huebers, Marvin Obuz
Outs: Sebastiaan Bornauw, Ismail Jacobs, Birger Verstraete, Julian Krahl, Lasse Sobiech, Dominick Drexler, Marcel Risse, Marco Hoeger, Max Meyer, Robert Voloder (loan)
Key signing: Experienced striker Mark Uth’s arrival, on a free from Schalke, could be key for a team that struggled to score throughout last season.
Freiburg
Ins: None
Outs: Brandon Borello, Chang-hoon Kwon, Florian Kath, Amir Abrashi, Chima Okoroji, Niclas Thiede (loan), Lino Tempelmann (loan)
Key signing: None
Greuther Fürth
Ins: Max Christiansen, Gideon Jung, Nils Seufert, Justin Hoogma (loan), Jessic Ngankjam (loan), Adrien Fein (loan)
Outs: David Raum, Sebastian Ernst, Mergim Mavraj, Alexander Lungwitz, Paul Jaeckel, Marijan Cavar
Key signing: Nils Seufert’s free signing from Arminia will add top-flight experience to a weak midfield.
Hertha Berlin
Ins: Suat Serdar, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Stevan Jovetic,
Outs: Jhon Cordoba, Sami Khedira, Mathew Leckie, Omar Alderete (loan), Eduard Loewen (loan), Jessic Ngankam (loan),
Key signing: Suat Serdar’s €8m arrival from Schalke adds a tough tackling midfielder capable of driving forward with the ball – the perfect young replacement for failed-gamble Khedira.
Hoffenheim
Ins: David Raum, Angelo Stiller, Sebastian Rudy
Outs: Justin Hoogma (loan), Ilay Elmkies (loan)
Key signing: Rudy arrives from Schalke desperate to get his career back on track after a miserable spell in Gelsenkirchen and at Bayern Munich before that. The last season of consistency came at Hoffenheim three years ago. Perhaps, in familiar surroundings, he can arrest the slump.
Mainz
Ins: Silvan Widmer, Anderson Lucoqui, Jae-sung Lee,
Outs: Florian Mueller, Pierre Kunde Malong, Danny Latza, Levin Oestunali, Phillipp Mwene, Robin Quaison, Dong-won Ji, Marlon Mustapha (loan), Issah Abass (loan)
Key signing: At €2.5m, rightback Widmer could prove an absolute steal after impressing for Swiss club Basel and Udinese in Serie A.
RB Leipzig
Ins: Andre Silva, Josko Gvardiol, Angelino, Mohamed Simakan, Benjamin Henrichs, Caden Clark, Brian Brobbey
Outs: Dayot Upamecano, Ibrahima Konate, Hannes Wolf, Fabrice Hartmann (loan), Caden Clark (loan)
Key signing: Silva's arrival is more headline-grabbing, but securing Angelino on a permanent deal is excellent business, even at €18m. The left-back was a key performer while on loan from Manchester City last season.
Stuttgart
Ins: Florian Mueller, Chris Fuehrich, Naouirou Ahamada, Oemer Beyaz
Outs: Nicolas Gonzalez, Gregor Kobel, Pablo Maffeo (loan), Jens Grahl, Marcin Kaminski, Gonzalo Castro, Maxime Awoudja (loan), Antonis Aidonis (loan)
Key signing: Losing highlyrated goalkeeper Kobel to Dortmund is a blow, so the signing of highly-rated youngster Mueller from Mainz is smart business.
Union Berlin
Ins: Taiwo Awoniyi, Tymoteusz Puchacz, Frederik Roennow, Keita Endo, Rick van Drongelen, Rani Khedira, Paul Jaeckel, Levin Oestunali, Genki Haraguchi, Pawel Wszolek, Andreas Voglsammer, Kevin Behrens, Timo Baumgartl (loan)
Outs: Marius Buelter, Julius Kade, Nicolai Rapp, Christopher Lenz, Christian Gentner, Florian Huebner, Akaki Gogia, Nikolai Kemlein
Key signing: Striker Awoniyi’s €6.5m arrival from Liverpool seems a lot of money for a player with no Bundesliga experience. But he boasts lightning pace and bags of potential. It could prove a masterstroke.
Wolfsburg
Ins: Sebastiaan Bornauw, Aster Vranckx, Lukas Nmecha, Maximilian Philipp, Felix Nmecha, Yun-sang Hong
Outs: Felix Klaus, Jeffrey Bruma, Lino Katsen ( loan), Ulysses Llanez (loan)Tim Siersleben, Yung-san Hing (loan), Bryant Kayo (loan)
Key signing: At €8m, Lukas Nmecha didn't come cheap from Manchester City, but he’s a striker with pace, strength and also poses an aerial threat. If he turns it on, he could be a phenomenal signing.
