Treu transfer to SC Freiburg stalls: St. Pauli demands 7 million!
The changing front at FC St. Pauli remains exciting! There are currently intensive discussions between FC St. Pauli and SC Freiburg about bringing Philipp Treu back. The 24-year-old defender, who once trained at SC Freiburg and has been wearing the Kiezkicker jersey since 2023, is very popular after his market value rose to a whopping 7 million euros. But the negotiations are dragging on. How PICTURE reports, St. Pauli would like to pay dearly for the defender's departure, a year before his contract expires.
Treu came to St. Pauli in 2023 as captain of the second team, and a transfer fee of 500,000 euros was transferred to Freiburg for him. Since then he has become a fixture and shone last season with over 30 appearances and two assists. Sports director Andreas Bornemann and coach Fabian Hürzeler appreciate Treu's footballing qualities as well as his leadership strength, which he demonstrated as captain of the U23. But despite the strong performances and great potential, there is currently no quick solution in the negotiations with Freiburg.
Negotiations and future plans
With a transfer of Treu, Hamburg could also mobilize the necessary capital to sign Morgan Guilavogui (27), who impressed on loan last season. The striker scored six goals and provided two assists. St. Pauli has drawn the purchase option, which is 3 million euros. However, the selling club, RC Lens, has a buyback clause of 4.5 million euros. This shows that St. Pauli plans cleverly and is well positioned in the race for talent.
Transfer fees in football are an exciting topic. How Statista shows, the transfer fees fluctuate greatly. While clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City can speak of three-digit million sums, St. Pauli is still in the moderate range with its record sales of 4.5 million euros for Daniel Kofi-Kyereh and Morgan Guilavogui.
Looking into the future
It remains to be seen whether Treu's transfer will actually take place. So far, talks between the clubs have stalled; sports director Andreas Bornemann is known for his tough negotiations. An example of this is the move of coach Fabian Hürzeler, who was sold to Brighton for around 5 million euros. The situation shows that in football nobody likes to give up quickly when it comes to valuable players.
However, St. Pauli currently does not need a new winger, even if Treu leaves the club. It remains exciting to see whether the Kiezkickers can implement further plans with Treu's possible move and be even stronger in the coming season. With clever management and well-thought-out transfers, the Hamburg team can perhaps not only cause a sensation in the league, but also be at the forefront in terms of sport.
