Saying Auf Wiedersehen to Johannes Eggestein: FC St. Pauli Bids Farewell to a Standout Striker
FC St. Pauli declines to renew contract with Johannes Eggestein. - FC St. Pauli has let go of Johannes Eggestein, failing to extend his contract.
Don't call it quits just yet, because Johannes Eggestein's soccer journey in Hamburg is wrapping up after three years with FC St. Pauli. The team declined to renew the contract of their 27-year-old striker, whose tenure concludes at the end of June. Eggestein, who got his start in 22 matches under coach Alexander Blessin last season, saw his starting spot erode towards the end of the season, leading to an inevitable parting of ways.
After moving from Royal Antwerp in 2022, Eggestein played a pivotal role in helping St. Pauli secure a spot in the Bundesliga in 2024. Known for his collaborative playstyle, Eggestein found the back of the net three times for the Kiez-Club in the Bundesliga, and scored 14 goals in 50 games in the 2. Bundesliga. Over the course of his career with the club, Eggestein put in an impressive 85 competitive games, with 20 goals to his name.
As for Eggestein's potential future, the "Bild" newspaper hints at 1. FC Nuernberg as a possible admirer. Besides the striker, FC St. Pauli will also be saying goodbye to Morgan Guilavogui (returning to RC Lens), Noah Weißhaupt (loan to SC Freiburg), and Carlo Boukhalfa (whose contract has expired).
