Augsburg is looking for a player to strengthen their attacking phase, and at the top of the list is Mërgim Berisha, who previously played for this team. 

Germany's Sky Sport reported on Friday that Augsburg are considering bringing the 26-year-old back on loan, with an option to buy at the end of the season. 

Augsburg has already started talks for him. 

It would be a return for Berisha to Augsburg, a team with which he had scored nine goals and provided four assists in the 2022/2023 season. 

Torino and Werder Bremen have also expressed interest in Berisha. 

Berisha developed as a footballer at Austrian Salzburg, while he also had a career at LASK, Magdeburg, Altach and Fenerbahçe. 

From Augsburg in August 2023, he was transferred to Hoffenheim for 14 million euros. 

Kosovo midfielder Elvis Rexhbeçaj has also been playing for Augsburg since 2022. 

Berisha has played for Germany's U21 in 13 matches, while he has made two friendly appearances for the senior German team.
