“Combination fits perfectly”

FC St. Pauli strengthens the storm center shortly before the transfer and one day before the Bundesliga city derby against HSV. Magdeburg’s scorer Martijn Kaars (26) comes to Millerntor, as was already indicated in the course of Thursday. The change has preceded the change of a curious complaint by the FCM, which filed an action after a leaked screenshot of an email traffic. At St. Pauli, the versatility of the attacker was emphasized.

“As a center forward, he has demonstrated his qualities, but can also come dangerously over the outside,” said FCSP sports director Andreas Bornemann. “On the square, it shows an exciting combination of speed and intensive meters as well as final strength.” Head coach Alexander Blessin agrees: “Dangerous in the end, strongly in defensive behavior and pressing – this combination fits perfectly with our game idea. Martijn Kaars is an enormously hardworking striker, active and a lot on the road. What is particularly important to me: He switches quickly, both offensive and defensive. I am happy that he is on board with us.”
With a market value of 4 million euros and a contract term by 2027, it can be assumed that St. Pauli must spend a transfer for Kaars that would have been somewhat unthinkable at the Kiez before the current season. In the afternoon, “Sky” had reported an amount of between 4 million and 5 million euros, which would indeed make Kaars a new record purchase from the Braun-Weißen.

It was only this summer that the Hamburg’s almost 25 -year -old transfer record was cracked and even outbid three times for the new season. With midfielder Joel Chima Fujita (23), the maximum amount of all replacement of the brown-whites is now EUR 3.5 million. Union Berlin, 1. FC Heidenheim, Werder Bremen and Borussia Mönchengladbach, were also said to have been interested in Kaars, who will take place shortly.
Even if the name of Kaar appeared unexpectedly on Thursday, the fact that St. Pauli is reinforced on the offensive is not surprising. Another attacker had been expected for a long time – not least because more strikers have left the club after last season than the new championship round.
So far, only two personal details have been used for the nine: loan player Andréas Hountondji (23), who scored a goal after a positive preparation on the first match day against BVB (3: 3), and Abdoulie Ceesay (21), who also did a good appearance after a change against Dortmund, but which was slightly injured in the game and was initially. For an indefinite period, newcomers are also missing Ricky-Jade Jones (22), who injured his shoulder in a friendly.
In Magdeburg, Kaars reached 19 goals in the 2nd Bundesliga in the past season. A year earlier in the Dutch second division, there were even 21 goals for Helmond Sport. The Waterlander trained at Ajax Amsterdam and FC Volendam has not yet played in a first division. The last player of FC St. Pauli, who was 19 or more league in a season, was Marius Ebbers 2009/10.
