Augsburg, Germany — Ekhbary News Agency
Bundesliga club FC Augsburg has loaned striker Elias Saad, 26, to Nashville SC in Major League Soccer for one year. The Tunisian international seeks to regain consistent playing rhythm in the American league.
Seeking Fresh Start and Match Minutes
Saad transferred to Augsburg last summer from FC St. Pauli, experiencing a goalless first half before a winter loan to Hannover 96. There, he missed Bundesliga promotion. Despite club struggles, Saad played in two World Cup matches for Tunisia against Sweden and Japan, though he was benched against the Netherlands. For what it's worth, this MLS move offers a crucial fresh start.
