St. Pauli Loans Robatsch to Belgian First Division Club

FC St. Pauli is sending young talent Jannik Robatsch to Belgium in search of valuable playing experience. The German second-division club announced that the 21-year-old Austrian midfielder will be loaned to Belgian first division side SK Beveren until the end of the season.

Robatsch joined St. Pauli from Klagenfurt for the previous season. Despite his transfer, he has yet to feature in a competitive match for the professional team. He has, however, played 16 games for the club's U23 team in the Regionalliga Nord.

For Jannik, this step offers the opportunity to recommend himself for playing time at a high level in a new environment.

St. Pauli's Sporting Director, Andreas Bornemann, explained the rationale behind the move. He stated that the loan offers Robatsch a chance to prove himself in a new setting and compete at a high level. Bornemann also noted that the Belgian league provides excellent conditions for player development, aligning with Robatsch's desire for a transfer.

Since the league also offers very good framework conditions for his further development, we have agreed to Jannik's wish for a transfer.
