St Pauli are interested in Morgan Guilavogui returning to the Bundesliga this month. Southampton are also competing for the forward.

According to Bild, St. Pauli is searching for offensive reinforcements, and the return of ex-striker Morgan Guilavogui could be included in this. The report also states that for this to happen, a certain development in the transfer process needs to occur.

FC St. Pauli is attempting to re-sign Morgan Guilavogui in the winter. The 27-year-old Guinean international attacker is currently a substitute player at RC Lens. He was popular with fans during his loan spell last season. After his loan, St. Pauli exercised a three million euro purchase option in the summer. RC Lens then used a buy-back clause to reacquire him for 4.5 million euros, which was against his wishes. The French club will only consider a sale, not another loan, and has established the 4.5 million euros they paid as the basis for negotiations. St. Pauli would likely need to reduce that figure given their financial means. Guilavogui has 21 caps for his country and is under contract with Lens until 2027. His current market value is €4.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
