St. Pauli signs Champions League star Pereira Lage – record transfer!
The FC St Pauli made a smart move and significantly strengthened its offensive. After several departures, including Morgan Guilavogui's move back to France, the signing of Mathias Pereira Lage (28) is now imminent. According to French sports media L'Équipe, this transfer is considered the most valuable in the club's history as the player will come from Stade Brest on a free transfer with a market value of 2.5 million euros.
Pereira Lage has really had a blast in his career. He has already made a name for himself with an impressive 99 appearances for Brest in a variety of attacking positions including wing and central midfield. Last season he had nine goals and 13 assists, collecting seven assists in Ligue 1. He also enjoyed a sense of achievement in the Champions League when he scored against Red Bull Salzburg.
Champions League experience in the neighborhood
Speaking of the Champions League: Pereira Lage was able to compete against real heavyweights like Real Madrid, among others. What an enrichment for FC St. Pauli! If everything goes well, he will sign with the club for three years and, after previous transfers, could represent the missing piece of the puzzle in the attack. This signing suggests that the club wants to take the next step in its development.
With Ricky-Jade Jones (22), who was also signed on a free transfer, the striker is now twice as strong. He made a lot of impressions last season and is seen as a promising successor. Together with Pereira Lage, he should form the attacking duo that could help the neighborhood club achieve brilliant moments again.
New face in the team
In total, FC St. Pauli has already signed three external newcomers for the coming season. In addition to Pereira Lage and Jones, the defense is also being worked on. Jannik Robatsch (20) and Arkadiusz Pyrka (22) were recruited as reinforcements for the defense and the defensive wing. With eleven departures, including regulars like Noah Weißhaupt (23) and Siebe Van der Heyden (27), the club shows that it is determined to bring in a breath of fresh air in the new season.
This upheaval is no coincidence. With the latest signings, the club wants to usher in a new era and be taken seriously again in German football. Fans can be excited about what they can expect from their team in the coming season. Let's look forward to some attractive football in the neighborhood!
