FC St. Gallen has signed a promising new signing, Carlo Boukhalfa, in recent weeks. The 26-year-old midfielder is moving from FC St. Pauli to Switzerland on a free transfer and is already the second German player to join FC St. Gallen in this transfer period. This reports transfermarkt.de.

Boukhalfa, who comes from Freiburg, has signed a contract until June 2027. He is considered an offensive player who is strong in running and tackling and can play in several positions - be it as an eighth, tenth or hanging striker. At St. Pauli he fought for a regular place in three years with 56 appearances and 4 goals, which underlines his effectiveness in the 2nd Bundesliga. Last season he played a total of 1,702 minutes - the eleventh most in his team tagblatt.ch supplemented.

The preparatory phase will begin on July 12th with a friendly against Schalke 04 in Austria. Further games against Darmstadt, Brühl and Kaiserslautern have already been scheduled. FC St. Gallen starts its 2025/26 season on July 26th against Basel. Before the start of the season, the club had already sold over 10,000 season subscriptions, which speaks for particularly high expectations.
