Despite the victory against FC Bayern, the house blessing at FC Augsburg is crooked. Goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz wants to extend his contract and gives his club an ultimatum. There have been differences between the goalkeeper and managing director Stefan Reuter for some time.
After the sensational 1-0 win against FC Bayern, FC Augsburg is in bliss – one could assume. One could also assume that the Fuggerstädter, led by managing director Stefan Reuter, are trying to extend Rafal Gikiewicz’s expiring contract as quickly as possible. The goalkeeper not only surpassed himself against the record champions, but has been in top form for weeks.
In truth, the internal relationship between Gikiewicz and Reuter is not in the best of hands, like they are picture– Newspaper reports. After critical interview statements at the beginning of the season, there is said to have been a discussion between the two men. However, it was not possible to settle the differences.
Why is? Gikiewicz misses the backing of those responsible who tried to get Mainz goalkeeper Finn Dahmen in the summer. Gikiewicz sees the interest in the 24-year-old zero-five as a vote of no confidence and would like FCA to give him a clear statement of confidence in the form of a contract extension.

Then they can [die Augsburger Entscheidungsträger] yes, see if they get a boy, because I’m too old, I’ve shown that in the last few weeks,” said the 34-year-old picture. “Let’s see what Stefan Reuter is doing, I’m just a small player…”
Reuters reaction: “His [Gikiewicz’] The contract does not expire on November 14th, but in the summer. We’ve said from the start that we’re incredibly happy with his performance. The things that were opened there are not from me, not from the club and not from the coach.”
In conclusion, the manager states: “Today is not the right time to talk about contracts.”
Captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw made it clear at the start of the season that Gikiewicz’s unclear future is also causing unrest within the Augsburg team clear. After the 2-1 away win in Leverkusen a month ago, the central defender explained: “I find it incomprehensible that these rumors are still there. I don’t think it’s a good thing, especially in such an important position. If there rumors are constant, it’s not easy for Rafa and the team. It just can’t be.”
