St. Pauli in terms of optimism: new additions and exciting transfers!

Kollaustraße, 20359 Hamburg, Deutschland - FC St. Pauli faces an exciting summer transfer period in which the squad is changing vigorously. As the Mopo , the transfer window opens on July 1st and remains until September 1st open. So far, seven new players have already been signed, and further transfers should follow.

The start of training is scheduled for July 3 on Kollaustraße, where the team will complete fitness tests and medical checks right from the start. On July 6th, the first test game against Grün-Weiß Firrel is on the program. The association has high ambitions for the new season, which will be heralded with a home game against Borussia Dortmund on August 23 and 24.

new additions and departures

In the offensive series, some fresh faces are joining the old acquaintances. The newcomers include:

• Joel Chima Fujita (midfield, VV Sint-Truiden)
• Ricky-Jade Jones (striker, Peterborough United)
• Mathias Pereira Lage (offensive all-rounder, Stade Brest)
• Arkadiusz Pyrka (full -back, Piast Gliwice)
• Jannik Robatsch (central defender, Austria Klagenfurt)
• Simon Spari (goalkeeper, Austria Klagenfurt)

While new players are being brought on board, some departures also had to be coped with. Among other things, Elias Saad switched to FC Augsburg, and the future of Carlo Boukhalfa and Johannes Eggestein remains uncertain. The return of Noah Weißhaupt to SC Freiburg and the end of the career of Simon Zoller is particularly painful.

transfer rumors and injuries

In addition to the interplay that has already been completed, there are further transfers in the pipeline. Philipp Treu is about to move to SC Freiburg, and Fin Stevens is associated with Hull City or Preston North End. Daisuke Yokota (offensive player, Kaa Gent) could soon hire in the club, whereby the transfer is to be between 2 and 2.5 million euros.

The situation in the squad is complicated by injuries. Jackson Irvine and Karol Mets are in rehabilitation, which means that their return to team training remains uncertain. In addition, James Sands trains after an ankle operation and his return remains.

Another aspect is the return of Maurides Roque Jr. after his loan to Debreceni VSC, although the future at FC St. Pauli is still unclear here. Oladapo Afolayan, on the other hand, has to prove its value again after critical statements about the team and the deployment times, while Thomas Risch will be responsible for game analyzes as a new assistant coach.

The season preparation promises to be exciting. It remains to be seen how the new team smithy manifests itself and whether the transfers show the desired effect. For all fans of the district association, it is therefore said: pressing and keeping your fingers crossed!
