FC St. Pauli loses top scorer Guilavogui to RC Lens!

St Pauli, Deutschland - A change that makes waves: FC St. Pauli has to part with its valuable loan player Morgan Guilavogui. The striker, who was recently hired by RC Lens for three million euros, will take his way back to the French club. Both clubs have already officially confirmed this and the buyback option was activated. This is an impressive 4.5 million euros, which makes Guilavogui one of the most expensive sales in the history of FC St. Pauli, with the transfer by Daniel-Kofi Kyereh to SC Freiburg in 2022.

sports director Andreas Bornemann expressed a positive statement in terms of the situation and praised both the sporting and human qualities of Guilavogui. "He got into our team very well," said Bornemann. However, he sees the final decision -making process on Guilavogui's whereabouts critically because it was not at FC St. Pauli. Only the buyback option in the player's contract made it possible to get him back. Guilavogui was a valuable addition to St. Pauli, which scored six goals in the past Bundesliga season.

With the transfer from Guilavogui, Hamburgers set a new record for the most expensive new commitment. Previously, this was defined by the purchase of Uğur İnceman, for around 1.3 million euros in 2001. Guilavogui's return to Lens takes place on the basis of his outstanding achievements, which Jean-Louis Leca, sports director of the RC LENS, also praised. He described the return as a "great opportunity" and emphasized the versatility, mentality and experience of the player.
