FC St. Pauli Considers Signing of Jansson – First Finn in Over 30 Years

FC St. Pauli has had few new signings since their relegation, and these have been scattered across different positions. Now, the club is considering a player who could fill the right defender role vacated by Manolis Saliakas.

The player could be trained to play as a defensive player in the German style and potentially return to the Bundesliga. He plays offensively like a 7-million-euro player but defensively more like an entry-level 500,000-euro player. Liqqi_cher suggests that an asking price of at least 2.3 million euros would be fair.

Quote from Liqqi_cher

Originally an offensive player, he can cover the entire field. He could be trained to play as a right defender in the German style and potentially return to the Bundesliga. Offensively, he plays like a 7-million-euro player, while defensively more like an entry-level 500k player. An asking price of at least 2.3 million euros would be fair, considering his transfer history.

His contract runs out next summer, and we are willing to pay up to 650,000 euros.

Player Profile and Potential

The player is an offensive-minded player who has stood out through his agility with the ball and good overview. Defensively, he appears more passive but engages in light duels. He could also play as a classic right defender or wing-back.

The opponents in Sweden are partially predictable, and his performances against Sirius and Halmstad might have put him in focus. His strength lies in ball-winning and positional play. He could be an important addition to the team.
