In August 2015, after being made club captain at AZ, a transfer to Greek club Olympiacos fell through.[5] He suffered an injury in December 2015, one of a number of AZ's defenders on the sidelines.[6]

In January 2016 he moved to German club FC Augsburg.[7][8] He spoke of his joy at the move.[9] He made his debut for the club on 14 February 2016 in a 2–1 home loss to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, covering Thomas Müller as a defensive midfielder.[10]
On 11 September 2016, he scored his first goal for Augsburg in a 2–1 victory against Werder Bremen.[11]
Following the retirement of Daniel Baier in September 2020, Gouweleeuw was made captain of Augsburg by head coach Heiko Herrlich.[12]
