St Pauli sports director Andreas Bornemann concedes they'll lose Viktor Gyokeres this summer.
The Swedish striker is on-loan this season from Brighton.
Bornemann told BILD: “It was clear to us that the loan entails a risk.
"If it works, Brighton can use him better or he will focus on other clubs."
Indeed, Gyokeres' agent Per Jonsson has revealed he's now fielding interest from Bundesliga clubs.
