Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. The news ticker on t-online contains all the important reports about the “Rothosen”.
The Premier League club is apparently stubborn about Vušković
At the Hamburger SV Luka Vušković made a huge impression last season. However, it is becoming increasingly unlikely that the central defender from Tottenham Hotspur will return to the Elbe after his loan spell ends. Apparently Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion is persistently vying for the Croatian World Cup participant.
According to Sky, Brighton has now submitted an improved offer for the 19-year-old after an initial offer. The transfer package should therefore be worth the equivalent of around 52 million euros. According to transfer expert Florian Plettenberg, negotiations between the two clubs are “in full swing”. According to the information, Vušković also wants the change.
The Croatian central defender played his way into the hearts of HSV fans last season. With Hamburg he celebrated their relegation in the Bundesliga early. Vušković played a key role in this. During his emotional farewell, he gave the fans hope that there could be a comeback in the HSV jersey.
Glatzel before moving from HSV to Wolfsburg
According to media reports, Bundesliga relegated VfL Wolfsburg is about to sign HSV professional Robert Glatzel. As “Bild” and Sky write, the 32-year-old attacker’s move is expected to be imminent. The clubs should fundamentally agree. The transfer had been underway in the past few weeks.
The Munich native is signing a two-year contract. According to “Bild”, Lower Saxony will pay 1.5 million for the professional, who scored 84 goals and provided 22 assists in 150 competitive games for Hamburg.
In the past season, Glatzel struggled with bad luck with injuries and also publicly criticized his role as a reserve player HSV. Glatzel was removed from the squad for one game for disciplinary reasons after he criticized his role as a reserve in an interview conducted without consultation with the club.
