Coach Merlin Polzin is said to have convinced BVB talent Almugera Kabar (19) to move to Hamburger SV. This is what the “Ruhr News“. Accordingly, there are increasing signs of a move to the Rothosen, although not everything is finalized yet. That’s why VfL Wolfsburg, among others, is still lurking.

It is said that the discussions between HSV and the players are well advanced. It’s just a matter of details. The Hamburg team, especially Polzin, is said to have shown Kabar an attractive sporting perspective. The left-back should challenge Miro Muheim (27). The exchange with the HSV coach was characterized by a lot of trust.
The catch: An agreement with BVB is still pending. The crux of the matter is the different ideas regarding transfer fees. The Dortmunders don’t want to sell Kabar at a bargain price. A loan with an option to buy is also conceivable, but the players prefer a fixed transfer.
If Dortmund cannot reach an agreement with HSV, VfL Wolfsburg could benefit. According to the report, there have also already been discussions with the wolves. And interest from the Premier League, something like that from Brentford FC, is still there.

Kabar was part of the U17 national team in 2023 that won the World and European Championship titles for Germany. However, the breakthrough did not materialize at BVB. He was only granted one starting eleven and four short appearances in the Bundesliga – and that only in the last season. This season he had an exceptional autumn in the Regionalliga West. From the second half of September to the end of the year, Kabar appeared ten times for the BVB reserves. He was involved in five goals: four of his own goals and one assist. He is currently out with a sprained knee ligament.
As Kabar’s successor: BVB agrees with Brazilian jewel Prates
The fact that BVB is ready to let Kabar go is probably also due to the fact that there is a successor in the starting blocks in the form of Brazilian gem Kauã Prates. According to “Sky“A verbal agreement has already been reached with Dortmund for a move in the summer. BVB sees the talent as the right next step in development.

However, there are also problems with the clubs’ negotiations when it comes to personnel. This is how Cruzeiro has opposed Belo Horizonte so far. An initial offer of just under 10 million euros was rejected. “We are not in a hurry to sell, we are not looking to sell,” said sporting director Joaquim Pinto recently. “We have already received offers from a world-class club, which we rejected because we felt they did not yet match the player’s potential.”
Prates has 14 appearances for Cruzeiros professionals in which he scored one goal. In December, Transfermarkt introduced him to the German audience in detail in the talent calendar. “He has enormous potential and above-average maturity,” said former coach Leonardo Jardim when asked by TM at the time. “He can be used very variably and has only a few weaknesses. In addition to his technical qualities, he has excellent athleticism. He doesn’t drop in defense or offense and hits crosses and set pieces very well. He is a balanced full-back that all coaches like.”
