German football league - Media: FC St. Pauli and Brighton come to terms on Hürzeler's move

The Bundesliga team FC St. Pauli is poised to receive a significant transfer fee if their head coach Fabian Hürzeler joins Premier League team Brighton & Hove Albion. Reports from "Hamburger Abendblatt" suggest the clubs have reached a deal in the millions, with estimates placing the sum around 7.5 million euros, potentially rising if Brighton makes it to a European cup competition. This would be a record fee for the 2. Bundesliga champions. The announcement of the move is anticipated imminently, and it's been speculated that Hürzeler will ink a deal extending to 2027 at Brighton. Although he renewed his contract with the Kiezclub in March without an escape clause, Hürzeler guided the team to gain promotion back to the Bundesliga last season. Hürzeler has been in charge of FC St. Pauli since December 2022 and previously served as a co-trainer under Timo Schultz.
