Progressing team - St. Pauli manager Hürzeler nearing shift to the Premier League due to reported accord on transfer fee.
The German Bundesliga side FC St. Pauli is set to receive a huge sum if their coach, Fabian Hürzeler, makes a move to English Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion. As per a source from the "Hamburger Abendblatt," both teams have agreed on a substantial amount in the high seven-figure range.
The possible transfer fee is estimated to be around 7.5 million euros, with potential extra payments if Brighton successfully enters a European cup competition. This would make it the most significant fee ever received by the champion of the 2. Bundesliga.
Expected Announcement
It's also speculated that Hürzeler will sign a contract lasting until 2027. He had extended his contract with St. Pauli in March without including an exit clause. Hürzeler was instrumental in leading the team to the championship in the previous season and their return to the Bundesliga after 13 years. He assumed the role of head coach for FC St. Pauli in December 2022, after working as co-trainer under Timo Schultz.
