Full agreement! Date set for Glatzel's HSV exit | OneFootball

Robert Glatzel’s time at HSV is now definitively drawing to a close. After lengthy negotiations, all parties have agreed on the final details.

The striker will leave HSV after five years and join VfL Wolfsburg. As Bild reports, the transfer is expected to be officially completed as early as next week. The 32-year-old and the Lower Saxony club have already been in agreement for quite some time. Glatzel is set to sign a two-year contract in Wolfsburg and help the club achieve its goal of immediate promotion back to the Bundesliga.

After the move had recently stalled somewhat, the final obstacles between the clubs have now also been cleared. HSV will therefore receive a transfer fee of around €1.5 million for their long-serving forward. At the moment, only organizational formalities still need to be settled. The move can then be officially announced in a few days.

HSV departure had been looming for a long time

This brings Glatzel’s five-year spell at the Volkspark to an end. In a total of 150 competitive appearances, he recorded an impressive 84 goals and 22 assists. Hardly any other player shaped HSV’s attack during this period as lastingly as the Munich native.

Nevertheless, the separation had become increasingly apparent in recent months. After promotion to the Bundesliga, Glatzel lost his regular starting spot and was only rarely used from the beginning. The Hanseatic side increasingly relied on dynamic, hard-running striker profiles up front, which severely limited Glatzel’s prospects.

In Wolfsburg, however, the veteran is likely to take on a central role. At the ambitious second-division club, he is expected to spearhead the push for promotion to the Bundesliga together with other new signings such as Fraser Hornby and Fabian Reese.
