"As one of Europe’s top leagues, I’ve followed the Bundesliga for a while, so I’m really excited to get the chance to show what I can do at FCA," stated Veiga.
"Augsburg have a coach who puts his faith in young players, and I’m convinced that this is the right move for me at the right time," added the youngster, who can play as a central defender and in defensive midfield.
Augsburg sporting director Stefan Reuter commented:
"Renato Vaiga is a defensive all-rounder and with his physical attributes, his tackling ability and his strong left foot, he is a smart addition to our squad. He comes across as very mature for a man of his age, which is why he captains Portugal at U20 level.
"Nevertheless, we want to give him time and the best possible support during this one-year loan so that he can reach his full potential."
