Is everything happening quickly now? HSV striker before farewell
After five years, Robert Glatzel’s time seems to be at HSV to have expired. The 32-year-old is about to move to VfL Wolfsburg. Glatzel will receive a two-year contract with the Bundesliga relegated team, reports “Bild”. The “Kicker” and the “Abendblatt” had previously reported on the “Wolves’” interest in the HSV striker.
An agreement between the clubs is still pending. The transfer fee could end up being around 1.5 million euros. An initial offer of less than one million euros is said to have been too little for HSV.
Glatzel is considered a crowd favorite among HSV fans. Since 2021, the 32-year-old has appeared in 150 competitive games for Hamburg, in which he scored 84 goals and 22 assists. Robert Glatzel lost his regular place last season. Injuries also meant he only played 21 competitive games (four goals, two assists).

HSV idol suffers from cancer: How Kevin Keegan became a legend
Kevin Keegan recently hit the headlines with a devastating diagnosis. The 75-year-old made his serious cancer public. This news also caused consternation at HSV: fans dedicated a banner to Keegan in the north stand. The Brit is still an icon in Hamburg today: at the end of the 1970s he was the first world star in the Bundesliga, bringing glitz and glamor to the Elbe – and ultimately even a German championship.
Injured for a long time: Does Yussuf Poulsen have a future at HSV?
Yussuf Poulsen missed his first season at the Hamburger SV 19 league games. Injuries repeatedly set the captain back. What role will the Dane play at HSV in the future? Those responsible have a clear answer to this.
According to “Sport Bild”, HSV is still planning to use Poulsen, whose contract runs until 2027. Sports director Claus Costa sees the 31-year-old not only as an important leader in the dressing room, but also as a valuable factor on the pitch. His experience, game intelligence and tackling skills should continue to help the team.
However, there is no guarantee of a regular place. After five injuries and only 15 appearances (one goal), HSV wants to control the attacker’s workload even more precisely in the future. Costa admitted that no one can currently say whether Poulsen can complete a full season without major failures. After all, Poulsen returned at the end of the season and made a good impression during his brief substitutions.
