Overview

  • FC St. Pauli exercised its option to sign Morgan Guilavogui permanently, paying a club-record fee of around €4.5 million.
  • During his loan, Guilavogui scored six goals and tallied two assists in 25 Bundesliga appearances to finish as St. Pauli’s top scorer.
  • RC Lens holds a contractual buyback clause that allows it to repurchase the 27-year-old striker at an elevated price until June 15.
  • Pierre Sage’s recent appointment as Lens coach and Benjamin Parrot’s promotion to general director have injected uncertainty into the buyback decision.
  • Lens’s urgent need for transfer revenue amid tight finances could influence whether the club reclaims Guilavogui before the mid-June deadline.
