St. Pauli did not provide any information about the transfer fee or contract term.

For Rasmussen, who played in five Champions League games for Saint-Gilloise this season, this means a reunion with Alexander Blessin. In the 23/24 season, the current St. Pauli coach was on the sidelines at the Belgian club and worked with the Norwegian.

“With Mathias, a very clearly structured midfielder, we were able to convince him to move to FC St. Pauli. What is particularly important is that he can be used in various positions in the center and thus opens up additional options for us in midfield,” said sports director Andreas Bornemann: “He also brings footballing maturity and international experience.”

After the draw against HSV, St. Pauli is in danger of falling to the bottom of the Bundesliga table this weekend.
