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”.
Hamburger SV is driving personnel planning for the coming season in the Bundesliga. Apparently the Hanseatic players have a former German junior national player on the note. As “Mopo” and “Bild” unanimously report, defender Jordan Torunarigha has aroused the interest of the “red pants”.
According to the “Mopo”, the HSV has a realistic opportunity for the favor of the defensive man, who is available after his contract at the Belgian club Kaa Gent. Accordingly, Torunarigha wants to have clarity about his future by the end of the coming week.
In addition to the HSV, co -promoted 1. FC Köln is also said to have an eye on the defender. In addition, other Bundesliga clubs, the Greek top club Panathinaikos Athens and a club from the Premier League are said to have expressed interest.
The HSV’s first Bundesliga year is slowly but surely throwing its shadows ahead. The club published the first two dates for test games on Friday: with a double -test weekend, the “red pants” start in the summer preparation.
On Saturday, July 5th (1pm), the team of head coach Merlin Polzin will be guest with the district league team TSV Elstorf. Just a day later, on Sunday, July 6th (1.30pm), VfB Oldenburg is waiting for a regional league for HSV.
TSV Elstorf announces information on ticket sales via its Instagram and Facebook channels. For the game in Oldenburg, free advance sales begin on Sunday, June 8, at 2 p.m. Tickets and details are available on the VfB Oldenburg homepage.
The HSV women reinforce themselves with a national player for their comeback year in the Bundesliga. Michaela Croatto, 22 -year -old left -back from Austria, changes from league competitor RB Leipzig to the Elbe.
“I am very excited about the new challenge in Hamburg. The HSV is a club with great fans and great tradition,” said the two-time international player. Saskia Breuer, HSV coordinator of women’s football, was looking forward to a “human and sporty” reinforcement: “With Micki we gain a player who not only has Bundesliga experience, but also brings peace and overview. Her ball security and her understanding of the game immediately convinced us.”
For RB Leipzig, Michela Croatto, born in Villach, completed a total of 33 competitive games in the Bundesliga and in the DFB Cup in the past two seasons. In Austria she played 55 competitive games (twelve goals, a template) for St. Pölten, Neulengbach and Sturm Graz. In 2023, Croato debuted in the national team in her home country, previously she ran for the U17, U18 and U19 national team.
She was a captain, promotion hero, met in the DFB Cup semi-final-and now she is gone: Sarah Stöckmann leaves Hamburger SV and changes to Viktoria Berlin to the 2nd Bundesliga. “With her experience, leadership and game intelligence, she will do our team well,” says the capital club.
The 31 -year -old Stöckmann played at HSV for six years, the team led back to the 2nd league in 2023 – in the duel against Viktoria Berlin. The next ascent followed in the past season, this time to the Bundesliga. Afterwards she no longer received a new contract at the Volkspark.
