Magdeburg's Kaars moves to St. Pauli: FCM outraged about transfer!
In a surprising move, FC St. Pauli has signed Martijn Kaars from 1. FC Magdeburg. The 26-year-old striker, who was one of the best scorers in the second division last season with 19 goals and six assists, will strengthen the Kiezkicker's offensive. The move was sealed by both clubs on Thursday evening, although the terms of the transfer were agreed not to be disclosed. 1. FC Magdeburg expresses dissatisfaction with the circumstances surrounding the transfer and speaks of unfair means that were said to have been used. A picture of an email to sports director Otmar Schork was secretly taken while the team was active on the field during a regional league game, report colleagues from NDR.
Kaars' departure will be sorely missed by the Magdeburg team, not least because of his impressive record: he scored a total of 23 competitive goals for the FCM. The transfer took place shortly before the end of the current transfer window, which closes today. 1. FC Magdeburg also filed a police report against the St. Paulians' actions because they feared a clear violation of personal rights.
A new source of hope for Magdeburg
Despite the painful loss of Kaars, there is also positive news for the FCM. With Mateusz Zukowski, the club has signed a new striker who recently came from Poland. Zukowski, 23 years old, is expected to play in Thursday's friendly against Schweinfurt. Even though he was injured in his metatarsal on the first matchday in Poland, the FCM were good enough to sign him despite this injury. People have great confidence in his abilities because he has already drawn attention to himself in training with his physical presence and speed. He could be the key to getting the Magdeburg offensive back on track Picture reported.
