Record transfer! Philipp Treu returns from FC St. Pauli to SC Freiburg
Football has once again made exciting news in Northern Germany! On Monday, June 30, 2025, Philipp Treu's move from FC St. Pauli to SC Freiburg was officially announced. The 24-year-old left-back, who recently shone as a regular player for the Kiezkickern, is returning to Breisgau, where he was already active for the U19 and second team between 2017 and 2023.
Aside from the sporting aspects, it becomes particularly exciting when you take a look at the transfer fee. While the exact figures have not been officially announced, transfermarkt.de reports that St. Pauli will receive a record sum of over five million euros. The transfer thus exceeds Hamburg's previous record sales, which were previously 4.5 million euros for Morgan Guilavogui and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh. St. Pauli had originally expected a transfer fee of 7 million euros, but the deal was ultimately concluded to a mutually beneficial conclusion.
A rise and new challenges
Treu, who was promoted to the Bundesliga with St. Pauli in 2024 and played 35 competitive games for the men's team last season, sees the move as an opportunity to go to the next level with Freiburg. He expressed optimism about the upcoming Bundesliga season and the possibility of playing in the Europa League. As SCF sports director Klemens Hartenbach revealed, he highly values Treu's offensive and defensive abilities and is convinced that he will be a valuable reinforcement for Freiburg.
This move is not only a sporting gain for SC Freiburg, but also increases St. Pauli's income this summer to a total of 11.5 million euros. The fans of FC St. Pauli can look forward to the development of the club, which continues to rely on a solid financial foundation and successfully develops talent.
A look ahead
With this transfer, an exciting chapter continues for Treu: from youth work in Freiburg to the first Bundesliga with St. Pauli. He has developed impressively along this path and now has the goal of competing with Freiburg in the top German league.
In the world of football, there is hardly anything more exciting than a player who is willing to give his best to succeed. And with this in mind, we will follow Philipp Treu's path with great anticipation. So stay tuned as the new season starts and let's see how this return to the Freiburg jersey plays out!
