Hey, listen up! You gonna wanna hear this -- Johannes Eggestein, the 27-year-old striker, is kicking off his boots from FC St. Pauli, baby! The Hamburg-based team has opted not to extend Eggestein's contract past June, marking the end of a three-year run.
Eggestein, who started in 22 games under coach Alexander Blessin last season, unfortunately lost his starting spot towards the end of the campaign, making the separation inevitable. Eggestein first joined the club from Royal Antwerp back in 2022, playing a crucial role in their promotion to the Bundesliga in 2024. He was well-known for his teamwork, scoring three goals for the Kiez-Club in the Bundesliga, and a total of 20 goals across 85 competitive games.
No official word yet on who might snatch up this talented free agent, but rumors are swirling around 1. FC Nuernberg as a potential contender. Other departures from the team include Morgan Guilavogui (returning to RC Lens), Noah Weißhaupt (going back to SC Freiburg after a loan), and Carlo Boukhalfa (contract expired).
