Ingolstadt Complete €7.1M Transfer for Berlin's Ibrahim Maza


Ibrahim Maza adds a comparable tricky, skillful wide CAM to Engel on the left side.

Ingolstadt needed to add quality with the club stepping up divisions for the second year in a row, and they have done exactly that with the purchase of Ibrahim Maza. The 20 year old Algerian is an extremely skillful dribbler with a good finish on him and solid vision. He will take the #11 shirt and bring the kind of skill and ability the club needs there to match Engel's record-breaking productivity on the right hand side. Maza becomes the highest paid player at the club with €20K per week wages in a deal worth €7.1M in transfer fees as well.

Ingolstadt Add Adis Jasic at Right-Back for Club Record €10.3M


Jasic is a highly skilled Bosnian-Austrian 23 year old right-back

Marcel Costly has led the 3. Liga and Bundesliga 2 in assists the last two seasons from right-back for Ingolstadt, but the club has shown a major statement of intent, bringing in a younger and arguably better player in the position from Wolfsberger. Adis Jasic is a very technically gifted player at right back who possesses pace, a superb engine and an uncanny ability to hit a dead ball for a full-back.

Ingolstadt Sign Goalkeeper Senne Lammens for €7.9M from Royal Antwerp


24 year old Belgian goalkeeper, Senne Lammens joins Ingolstadt from Antwerp

Ingolstadt needed an upgrade at goalkeeper and have gottne one with the signing of Senne Lammens. The club didn't quite feel that 17 year old Andre Prott was ready for the #1 shirt and he will remain the backup keeper with Lammens claiming top spot. Speaking of claiming, Lammens is an excellent sweeper who excels at claiming crosses, stepping out of his box and winning the ball before it can get to dangerous areas. Standing a towering 6'4 with a 202lbs frame, he's an intimidating and strong presence in the air and box as well who will command his area for the team.
