St. Pauli confirm Guilavogui departure

After Morgan Guilavogui impressed on loan at St. Pauli from Lens in the 2024/25 campaign, the Bundesliga side triggered a purchase option set at a reported €3 million to sign him permanently.
However, the French striker won't be staying in Hamburg, as RC Lens have activated a buyback clause reportedly worth €4.5 million to bring him back.

FC St. Pauli confirmed the move on Wednesday.
'The plan we pursued with Morgan before the season worked very well. He slotted in outstandingly well, both in footballing terms and as a person," said St. Pauli's director of sport, Andreas Bornemann.
"In view of the performances he put in, we would have liked to keep him here. We put that on record by exercising the purchase option, but because Lens had an option to buy him back, the final decision on Morgan's future was out of our hands.'
Guilavogui scored seven goals and provided four assists in 27 appearances for St. Pauli during the 2024/25 campaign.

Report: Germany star Wirtz flies to England for Liverpool medical

Germany's Florian Wirtz (L) and France's Manu Kone stand on the pitch after the UEFA Nations League soccer match between Germany and France at Stuttgart Arena. Federico Gambarini/dpa Germany star Florian Wirtz has flown to England to carry out his medical ahead of his big-money transfer to Liverpool, according to reports in German media. The Bild newspaper said a private plane took off from Cologne airport on Thursday afternoon to take the 22-year-old to Manchester, from where he will be driven to Liverpool to complete his signing from Bayer Leverkusen. Advertisement The deal for the young forward could be worth up to €150 million ($172 million) including bonuses, making Wirtz the most expensive signing in Bundesliga and Premier League history. Only Paris Saint-German's moves for Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have ever carried a higher transfer fee. Wirtz is expected to sign a contract with the Reds until 2030. The German international had been a major target for top European clubs, including Leverkusen's Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich, but the attacking midfielder is set to land with the Premier League champions.
