Overview
- Ribeiro joins from Sporting CP on loan until the end of the season with a reported €5 million purchase option.
- He arrived in Augsburg on Wednesday, passed his medical, and could be considered for the matchday squad on short notice.
- Augsburg have struggled to score, failing to find the net in four of their past five league games and recording 17 goals in 16 matches while sitting 15th.
- The former youth standout became Sporting’s second-youngest player at 16, logged limited senior minutes without a goal, and scored 16 times in 52 reserve appearances after loans to Nottingham Forest and Avs Futebol.
- He is the club’s third winter loan addition after Yannik Keitel and Michael Gregoritsch, with a centre-back still sought due to long-term injuries to Chrislain Matsima and Jeffrey Gouweleuw.
