Joins PAOK on loan
Jakic has joined PAOK Thessaloniki on loan from Augsburg for the remainder of the season, with the agreement including an option to buy, according to the club.
Analysis: Jakic requested a move in search of more regular playing time after seeing his opportunities reduced at Augsburg. The versatile midfielder departs after making 78 competitive appearances for the club, recording five goals and three assists since initially arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2024. His ability to operate in defensive midfield and across the back line should give him several routes to playing time at PAOK, where he will reunite with former Augsburg teammate Dimitris Giannoulis.
Ruled out against Frankfurt
Jakic (undisclosed) is ruled out for Sunday's clash against Frankfurt, according to coach Manuel Baum. "The same goes for Jakic compared to last weekend."
Analysis: Jakic finished last season with two goals and one assist across 26 appearances, including 18 starts, and had also served a one match suspension late in the campaign after accumulating five yellow cards. His absence is a setback to monitor, and further clarity on the reason should emerge as Augsburg continues preparing for the match.
Option moving forward
Jakic has served his one-match suspension and is no longer suspended.
Analysis: Jakic had been forced to sit out the season finale against Union Berlin after accumulating five yellow cards, ending the campaign with two goals and one assist across 26 appearances (18 starts). The Croatian international will now shift his focus entirely to the World Cup this summer before returning to Augsburg ahead of the 2026/27 season, with the club looking forward to having him back in the fold once the tournament concludes.
Suspended one match
Jakic is suspended for one game due to yellow card accumulation.
Analysis: Jakic is not going to play in the season finale, as the defender is instead suspended after a fifth yellow card this season. He did start this match, leaving Han-Noah Massengo to likely start again. Jakic then ended his season with two goals and one assist in 26 appearances (18 starts).
Scores rare goal
Jakic scored a goal withi his lone shot while creating a chance during Saturday's 3-1 win over Werder Bremen.
Analysis: Jakic entered the match in the 36th minute and scored Augsburg's final goal in the 69th. The goal was the first since August for Jakic as he's combined for two shots, a chance created and six clearances over his last three appearances.
