Germany — Ekhbary News Agency
FC Augsburg has announced the loan of World Cup striker Elias Saad to Nashville SC in the American Major League Soccer for the upcoming season. This follows his recent half-year spell with Hannover 96, marking another move for the 26-year-old forward.
Saad's Career Trajectory and New Opportunity
The Bundesliga club did not disclose specific financial terms for the Tunisian international. Saad joined Augsburg last summer from FC St. Pauli but moved to Hannover 96 on loan in winter after a disappointing, goalless first half. He recently made two World Cup appearances for Tunisia, for what it's worth, against Sweden and Japan. This transfer provides a crucial opportunity for Saad to regain consistent playing time.
