Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “red pants”.
The HSV is apparently about to be committed by Nicolai Remberg. The 24-year-old midfielder is to move from Holstein Kiel to Hamburg for 2.4 million euros, reports transfer expert Florian Plettenberg from the Pay TV station Sky. The HSV activated an exit clause in Remberg’s contract.
In the past season, the 24 -year -old regular player at Holstein Kiel was under contract. With 32 missions in the league (one template), he was mostly used in the defensive midfield on the six position, several times ahead on the eight.
Curious: Nicolai Remberg has a sparkling wine against the HSV as opponent. In the 2023/24 season, he met HSV twice with Holstein Kiel – and won both games.
During his time at HSV, Sonny Kittel was one of the most reliable offensive players in the 2nd Bundesliga. In 140 competitive games, the now 32-year-old came to 36 goals and 40 goals. Kittel still likes to think back to his time in Hamburg: it was “the best time of my career,” he told the “Abendblatt”.
Kittel did not experience a promotion, but twice he was very close to the HSV. “Everything was done, everyone went to the stadium and thought, today it is time,” the offensive player recalls the moments before the relegation secondary 2022 against Hertha BSC. The HSV won the first leg 1-0 – but the Berliners prevailed 2-0 in Hamburg.
Kittel was also on the pitch a year later, when the HSV got up briefly in Sandhausen. “You noticed shortly before the end, it really happens now,” he says. Then the message spread that Heidenheim had still won in Regensburg: “Then we are directly into the cabin, there was dead trousers.”
After the missed promotion again, the Gießen native went to Poland to the then master Raków Czestochowa. In the summer of 2024, Sonny Kittel came to the Grashop Club Zurich via a loan to the Western Sydney Wanders (Australia). There is again a relegation second leg on Friday evening (8.30 p.m.): After a 4-0 in the first leg, the club is about to stay against FC Aarau.
It was speculated for a long time: Jonathan Tah’s transfer to Bayern is fixed. He changes free of charge from Bayer Leverkusen to the German champion. The 29-year-old central defender signed a working paper in Munich by June 30, 2029.
Sports director Max Eberl said: “It’s no secret that we have had Jonathan Tah on the radar for a long time. We appreciate his class: he is a guy who takes responsibility.” Tah himself is looking forward to his new club: “I would like to take responsibility here and work hard every day so that we are successful as a team and win many titles together,” he said, according to a message.
It is still open whether Tah can take part in the club World Cup (June 14th to July 13th). To do this, the Munichers would have to pay a transfer of Leverkusen. If this amounts to more than 7.5 million euros, the HSV would also earn a diligence thanks to a clause agreed at the then transfer to Bayer 04: ten percent of the sum then went to Hamburg. However, this is unlikely – there is a transfer fee of around one million euros in the room.
From 2009 to 2013, Jonathan Tah played in the HSV youth. Under Thorsten Fink, Rodolfo Cardoso and Bert van Marwijk, the then 17-year-old played 20 competitive games in the Bundesliga and in the DFB Cup for the “red pants” in 2013/14. Mirko Slomka sent the 35-time international back to the U19. After a loan to Fortuna Düsseldorf, Tah moved to Leverkusen in summer 2015.
