Bild reports on the challenging situation for an Englishman who is finding it difficult to get into his team, with his contract running until the summer. Sports director Andreas Bornemann said that it is nothing personal and that they have different profiles for how they want to do it. He added that there are always discussions, but nothing that would indicate a decision. A winter departure is almost certain.

Oladapo Afolayan expressed dissatisfaction with his current situation at St. Pauli, mentioning his lack of playing time and feeling unappreciated. He stated that he has one year left on his contract and is considering his future, indicating he may have discussions over the summer to evaluate his options. His comments suggest he is contemplating a transfer. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market worth at 4.00m euros.
