Netherlands-Cameroon defender Steven van der Sloot of ADO Den Haag is being linked with a summer move to Bundesliga side St Pauli, according to transfer speculation in Germany.
The 23-year-old right-back, born in Limbe and listed at 1.75m, is currently valued at €650,000, with Transfermarkt data suggesting a 22% probability that a deal could materialise. Crucially, his contract situation at ADO Den Haag is unclear, with no expiry date registered, heightening suggestions he could become a free agent or be available at a relatively low fee.
Van der Sloot, who wears the No 2 shirt and plays primarily as a defender on the right, has dual nationality, representing both the Netherlands and Cameroon at youth level. He is right-footed and has been used as an attacking full-back in the Keuken Kampioen Divisie, where ADO Den Haag have been pushing to return to the Eredivisie.
In his most recent outing, Van der Sloot featured for ADO Den Haag in their Keuken Kampioen Divisie fixture against [opponent], played on June 6, 2026, which finished [scoreline]. The full-back completed the match at right-back, contributing defensively down his flank as ADO sought to tighten up at the back, and his performance has been cited in local reports as further evidence of his readiness for a step up.
St Pauli, newly operating in the Bundesliga, are reported to be scanning the second tiers across Europe for value signings, with Van der Sloot’s €650k market value and potential free-agent status seen as an opportunity to reinforce on a budget.
Should the move go through, a switch from the Dutch second tier to Germany’s top flight would represent a significant leap in competition and visibility, offering Van der Sloot a platform to shape the next phase of his career and enhance his reputation in one of Europe’s leading leagues.
