Glatzel set for HSV exit this winter after agent switch, Bundesliga interest | OneFootball

Just a week ago, Robert Glatzel made headlines with a change of agent. His strategic realignment has immediate effects on the talks with HSV.

Behind the scenes at Hamburger SV, there is unrest. Once again, the focus is on striker Robert Glatzel. The 31-year-old, who has been a symbol of reliability and effectiveness in HSV's attack in recent years, is currently experiencing a challenging sporting phase. Instead of starting lineup appearances, he has recently only had short appearances. The "highlight" was the home game against VfL Wolfsburg (0:1), where the veteran didn't make it into the squad.

Controversially, Glatzel recently parted ways with his previous agency and is now represented by the international top agency CAA Stellar. According to Hamburger Abendblatt, the new advisory team led by Kevin Koussou and Schafiq Said held a meeting with the HSV management at the beginning of the week. The clear message was: The striker hopes for a "fair chance" again.

Glatzel's Future Remains Uncertain

The fact that the situation is escalating right now is no coincidence. In recent games, HSV has shown dominant possession football and delivered numerous crosses. Such a playing system seems tailor-made for Glatzel on paper. However, coach Merlin Polzin continued to rely on Ransford Königsdörffer, who is still waiting for his first goal of the season. Especially in Cologne (1:4), where HSV missed numerous chances despite being two men down, Glatzel's absence was evident.

The pressure on the coach and the sports management is growing. Many fans are loudly demanding the return of their striker. He actually wants to stay and get regular playing time at HSV. But his new camp is now making it clear that this patience is finite.

There will certainly be no shortage of potential takers in the winter. The Berliner Zeitung has already reported that Bundesliga competitor Union Berlin has taken notice of Glatzel. Sky also reported on Thursday evening that a departure in the second half of the season is within the realm of possibility. Thus, the discussions about the goal scorer's future continue.
