FC Augsburg have extended goalkeeper Marcel Lubik's contract through June 30, 2029, then sent the 22-year-old out on another Polish loan, this time to Wisla Krakow for the coming season.
Welt reported the move from club information, identifying Lubik as a Bundesliga club academy product who joined Augsburg's youth setup in 2018. The decision keeps him tied to FCA while giving him another season of senior minutes away from Germany.
Augsburg Extend Lubik Before Another Polish Loan
Lubik spent the past two seasons in Poland, first with GKS Tychy and then with Gornik Zabrze. At Zabrze, he was a regular starter, won the Polish Cup, finished as league runner-up and played 36 competitive matches.
The source-backed numbers help explain Augsburg's timing. Lubik kept 13 clean sheets in those 36 appearances, and FCA sporting director Benni Weber framed the extension as a sign that the club still sees him as part of its future.
Weber's comments, carried in the report, credited Lubik's development and his performances in Poland. The club is not pulling him into the Bundesliga squad immediately, but the 2029 contract gives Augsburg control while the next loan tests him again.
Wisla Krakow Gets A U21 International
Lubik is also a Poland under-21 goalkeeper, another reason the move has more substance than a routine reserve transaction. A season at Wisla Krakow should keep him in a competitive senior environment while Augsburg monitor whether he can eventually claim a role back in Bavaria.
The report said Lubik wants to establish himself long term at FC Augsburg and make a lasting step into the Bundesliga. That is an ambition rather than a guarantee, and the immediate plan is still a loan season in Poland.
For Augsburg, the verified transaction is balanced: they protect a young goalkeeper with a new deal through 2029, reward his development in Poland, and use Wisla Krakow as the next stage rather than rushing the Bundesliga pathway.
