Vuskovic will only end up back at HSV if his career largely fails. It remains to be doubted whether he would still be the player who really helps. It is much more likely that Vuskovic will now play at Tottenham for 1-2 years and then move to a top 5 club. A very romantic scenario, on the other hand, would be a return in old age as a footballer, i.e. in over 15 years.
In short: The probability that Vuskovic will ever play for HSV again is 2-3%.
You are making the mistake that so many make: you are not aware of how your and all of our brains are tricking us. A player performed extremely well during the season. That shapes the impression. On this basis you continue to write the future; you can hardly imagine anything else.
Ousmane Dembélé, mega player, moved to Barca for 140 million, 2 years later he was still worth 30 million.
Randal Kolo Muani, mega player, moved to PSG for 95 million. 3 years later he is still worth 22 million.
Luko Jovi, mega player, moved to Real for 65 million. 2 years later it was still worth 20 million.
Jadon Sancho, mega player, moved to ManU for 85 million. Still worth 30 million 3 years later.
Moussa Diaby, mega player, moved to Aston Villa for 55 million. 2 years later market value halved and he plays in the Saudi league.
We could now list countless more super talents whose market value/transfer fee has halved to a third within 2-3 years. Why can you rule out something like that for Vuskovic? You can’t at all. You’re just under the impression of last season. The fact that the chance with Vuslovic would only be 2-3% is completely unrealistic. And the fact that the players fail somewhere doesn’t necessarily mean that they were bad and have always been overrated. See Dembele, who at PSG increased his market value again from 30 to 100 million.
And of course HSV is miles behind Eintracht Frankfurt today. That doesn’t change the fact that it has better structural conditions. It is no coincidence that all of Europe’s top clubs come from large cities in economically strong countries: Barcelona, Munich, Madrid, London, Paris, Manchester, Liverpool, Milan.
But you can rule it out, because regardless of whether you continue the player’s story positively or negatively, you can very well predict the financial situation in the league and also the club. And you can clearly rule out the possibility that HSV will move into areas in the next 2-3 years in order to be able to pay Vuskovic. You don’t just throw out a transfer fee of 20-30 million and the salary on top of that. And especially not a club like HSV for a player who then fails (because that’s exactly what has to happen in the next few years to get within reach). A return would be conceivable towards the end of his career, but not before.
Your last paragraph is confusing with Eintracht as an example, since Eintracht is a big city (bigger than Manchester or Liverpool or Dortmund) and as the financial center of Germany it is also rich and therefore also an international metropolis.
HSV does not have any better structural conditions. That was probably the case in the past, but today that is simply no longer true, especially since many cities would then have these general conditions and not all of them can boom at the same time and it has never been the case that the size of the city improves the potential and possible general conditions.
