Public Criticism from the Fortuna Leadership
Florian Kastenmeier, a veteran figure within the Fortuna Düsseldorf dressing room, addressed the situation publicly, expressing clear disapproval regarding the circumstances surrounding Suso’s departure.
The Context of Suso’s Move to Augsburg
Sima Suso’s transfer to FC Augsburg represents a significant career step for the teenager, who is viewed by the Bundesliga club as a high-potential prospect. Augsburg officials have characterized the acquisition as an “extremely exciting player profile,” indicating that their scouting department had been tracking his development closely prior to the deal.

Fortuna Düsseldorf’s Roster Adjustments
As the club navigates the fallout from Suso’s exit, Fortuna Düsseldorf has already begun moving to solidify its roster. The club confirmed the signing of Felix Meiser, a defensive reinforcement intended to bolster the squad's depth.
