HSV Transfer News: Ex-Captain Ludovit Reis Joins Bitter Rivals Werder Bremen

Ludovit Reis, the Dutch midfielder who played for Hamburger SV during their promotion campaign to the Bundesliga, has agreed to a transfer to northern rival Werder Bremen from Club Brugge, according to regional news reports.

From Hamburg Hero to Werder Bremen

Reis initially left Hamburg in the summer of 2025 following the club’s successful promotion to the top flight, commanding a reported transfer fee of approximately six million euros to join Belgian side Club Brugge, as documented by regional media reports. However, his tenure in Belgium stalled due to a series of injuries that limited his playing time, rendering him a peripheral figure under manager Ivan Leko.

Financial terms of the transaction include a fixed transfer fee reported at seven million euros, with potential performance-based add-ons included in the agreement, as verified by regional media coverage. Baldé signed a five-year contract in France after undergoing medical evaluations. Last season in the Bundesliga, the winger logged 440 minutes across 16 appearances, scoring one goal.

“Fabio ist mit dem Wunsch auf uns zugekommen, sein gewohntes Umfeld zu verlassen, um sportlich den nächsten Schritt zu gehen,” said HSV Sporting Director Claus Costa in an official club statement acknowledging the player’s departure.

Coaching Changes and Transfer Window Context

The summer transfer window continues to reshape squads throughout the division, bringing simultaneous departures and structural adjustments.

For Reis, the transition back to German football offers an immediate opportunity to reclaim regular minutes after a frustrating spell in the Jupiler Pro League.
