AugsburgJoins Augsburg on long-term deal
Behrens completed a permanent move from Hoffenheim to Augsburg, signing a contract through June 2031, the club announced.
Analysis: Behrens arrives after a productive loan spell with Heidenheim during the second half of last season, making 16 Bundesliga appearances, including 15 starts, while scoring one goal. Developed primarily within Hoffenheim's academy, the 21-year-old defender also made his Bundesliga debut for the club before earning regular top-flight minutes at Heidenheim. Although naturally right-footed, Behrens is most commonly deployed at left-back and can also operate in central defense, providing Augsburg with valuable versatility. His strong performances on loan convinced Augsburg to secure him on a long-term deal as part of the club's future plans.
Back with Hoffenheim
Behrens has returned to Hoffenheim following the conclusion of his season-long loan at Heidenheim.
Analysis: The left-back, who can also play at center-back, spent the 2025/26 season on loan at Heidenheim, starting in all but one of his 16 appearances and recording one goal with two assists. Behrens should add depth to Hoffenheim's defensive line if he doesn't leave the club on loan during the summer transfer window.
Notches seven crosses
Behrens registered seven crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Mainz.
Analysis: Behrens was able to end his season fit after much of the first half of the campaign was ruined by injury, as the defender started in 5 straight games to end the season. He does see some decent production from the flanks and could be sold off following relegation, recording one goal, two assists and 57 crosses despite his normal defensive role.
