What are the planning at HSV? What’s next with Selke, how good are the new players, what can a former Ultra do as president? World answers the most important questions about the promoted team from the Hanseatic city.
The Hamburger SV will finally start again in the coming week. After seven years of abstinence, the traditional association can again contest the training start as a first division club. However, the recreational planning personnel are currently not completed. World answers the most important questions before the start.
Is there striker Davie Selke coming season for HSV?
According to the current status, the chance is less than five percent. So far, it was assumed that the 30-year-old Selke (contract expires on June 30) to a three-year contract with around 1.8 million euros in salary, but the HSV only offers two years and a little fewer salary. According to information from the “Sport Bild”, this offer of the HSV no longer applies.
Provided that the second division goalkeeper Selke (22 goals) strives to remain in Hamburg, the conditions would have to be negotiated from scratch. And: the HSV would offer less money than before. The club feels well positioned with Robert Glatzel (31) for its role as a storm anchor. In addition, too much capital should not be bound so that further access can come.
Both sides have not yet decided to have a final separation. Selke checks his alternatives. There is interest, among other things, from England and the USA.
What can the two new ones do?
Ex-U21 international Jordan Torunarigha (27) played 31 times in the European Cup in the past three seasons. He should become a defense operator and take on the task of captain Sebastian Schonlau (30) as a strong left foot in the opening of the player.
Midfield man Nicolai Remberg (25/nickname “Rambo”) was set in the starting eleven at Bundesliga relegated Kiel, running player and is supposed to deliver more intensity. With values such as mileage and sprints, the HSV would have been behind Bundesliga last in the past season.
Who should come?
With Braunschweig’s Turbo striker Rayan Philippe (24), this week is going into crucial negotiations. Creative man Adam Karabec (21) should come from Sparta Prague after a loan. A strong replacement for midfield engine Ludovit Reis (25/to Bruges) and another central defender are also supposed to be found.
Depending on the planning with all -rounder Daniel Elfadli (28), another central defender or a six is needed. In addition, you look at last-minute transfers from professionals experienced by Bundesliga (e.g. on the right defense) that are only available in mid-August.
Who will be the new leaders?
With rice and club veteran Tom Mickel (36/career end), two spokesmen are gone. Schonlau and Selke could follow. In contrast to 2024, however, the association is not looking for any new leaders. It is planned that players such as Glatzel, Jonas Meffert (30) or keeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes (32) are going to proceed more than before.
What are the first tasks of ex-ultra Henrik Köncke as club president?
The first hurdle is the coordination with his vice president, the supervisory board boss Michael Papenfuß (70) and beach volleyball Olympic champion Laura Ludwig (39). They actually competed in the team of Köcke’s competitors. You now have to Find a joint course in terms of Olympic application from the city of Hamburg. In addition, the HSV cooperative-also worked out by Köncke-will be officially launched in autumn.
