St. Pauli are expected to sign centre-midfielder Erik Ahlstrand from Halmstads BK soon, with midfielder Marcel Hartel apparently leaving in the summer.

St. Pauli are on the hunt for a new midfielder seeing as Marcel Hartel, a star player for the Millerntor-side, is out of contract in the summer of 2024.

The former 1. FC Köln player has seventeen goal contributions in eighteen games for St. Pauli this season.

Ahlstrand, a twenty-two-year-old Swedish international, made twenty-nine appearances for Halmstads BK last season and had eight goal contributions in the Allsvenskan.

He currently has a market value of €800,000 and is rumoured to be moving to St. Pauli for around €500,000 with the club looking at spending around that amount for the player.

He made his debut for Sweden in 2024 against Estonia in a win.
