St. Pauli relies on young, fast transfers: The squad will be fresh!
FC St. Pauli is well on the way to repositioning itself for the coming season. You can say that the Kiezkickers have a good hand when it comes to their transfers! The possible free transfer signing of Mathias Pereira Lage, a 28-year-old offensive all-rounder, is currently under discussion. This reinforcement would not only diversify the squad, but also fit into the clear transfer policy of sports director Andreas Bornemann, who specifically focuses on more speed and a younger team.
In the current transfer period, St. Pauli has already signed four promising talents: Arkadiusz Pyrka (22) from Gliwice, Jannik Robatsch (20) and Simon Spari (23) from Klagenfurt and Ricky-Jade Jones (22) from Peterborough. With an average age of 21.5 among the new arrivals, the team is significantly rejuvenated after eleven players, whose average age was 27.8, left the club. For comparison: the average age of the players used last season was 26.7 years. This rejuvenation is necessary after St. Pauli ranked in the bottom third of the Bundesliga in terms of age last season.
Increase speed on the pitch
Speed is the key word when it comes to the new transfer strategy. St. Pauli was the slowest team in the league last season. To counteract this, the club has signed players who have remarkable speed. Ricky-Jade Jones is the fastest professional in the world in 2024 with a top speed of 37.6 km/h. Arkadiusz Pyrka has a top speed of 35.0 km/h, while Pereira Lage, who might not be able to directly support the rejuvenation of the squad, doesn't have to hide at 36.6 km/h. Philipp Treu, St. Pauli's current top sprinter, also has an impressive speed of 34.68 km/h, although it is unclear whether he will still play at the Millerntor Stadium next season as there is interest from Freiburg.
By the way, how do you easily get to the Millerntor Stadium? The location in the trendy St. Pauli district, right on the Kiez, makes traveling to the home games quite relaxed. Whether by car via the A7 or A1, or by public transport such as the subway or S-Bahn – the options are diverse. This good connection will ensure that fans will continue to flock to the stadium in large numbers next season.
A look at the transfer markets
The global transfer landscape is constantly changing. In the transfer market, clubs can borrow, buy or sell players - some have to dig deep into their pockets, while others cleverly try to do good business with limited resources. The Bundesliga往 is one of the financially strongest leagues in Europe, which brings with it both opportunities and challenges. While Bayern Munich makes an impression with the highest transfer spending in the league, other clubs like St. Pauli have to act strategically and cleverly in order not to lose touch.
The current developments surrounding the Kiezkicker show that fans and experts are looking forward to the club's next steps. St. Pauli is relying on a fast, young team that could shake up the league in the coming season. And with the support of our own supporters in the neighborhood, the foundation has been laid for an exciting season!
