Johannes Eggestein has joined Wiener Austria on a three-year contract until 2028, after his contract with St. Pauli was not extended. He expressed his excitement about joining such a traditional club. The transfer strengthens Wiener Austria as they prepare for potential departures of other players.

Johannes Eggestein will not receive a new contract from St. Pauli and will leave the club on a free transfer. Despite his significant contribution to the team's promotion to the Bundesliga and being a regular player, the club has decided not to extend his contract. This decision is influenced by the return of Morgan Guilavogui and the presence of Danel Sinani, who has a similar playing style to Eggestein. Currently, Transfermarkt estimates his market value at 2.50 million euros.
