HSV is on the verge of another transfer. Albert Grønbaek landed in Hamburg on Wednesday evening.
According to consistent media reports, he is expected to undergo his medical examination at the Athleticum at Volkspark as early as Thursday. If the Dane passes the medical tests, nothing will stand in the way of a loan deal. Grønbaek arrived accompanied by HSV team manager Lasse Böttcher and a member of the press office; photos of his arrival at Hamburg Airport were already circulating late in the evening.
Most recently, the right-footer was under contract with Italian Serie A club CFC Genoa, but he only made sporadic appearances there this season. In four competitive matches, Grønbaek accumulated just 101 minutes of playing time, without any goal involvement. Since early December, a muscle injury has also sidelined him, causing him to miss eight league games.
HSV now wants to give the Danish international a chance for a fresh start. Grønbaek came up through the youth ranks at Aarhus GF but made his breakthrough at Norwegian Champions League participant Bodø/Glimt. There, he made a lasting impression. In 88 competitive matches, he scored 30 goals and provided 16 assists. These performances prompted Stade Rennes to pay a hefty 15 million euro transfer fee in the summer of 2024. However, Grønbaek clearly fell short of expectations in France. This was followed by loan spells at FC Southampton and most recently at Genoa.
What makes him particularly interesting for HSV is his versatility. Grønbaek can play both in central midfield and on both wings. Especially on the left side, he could soon play an important role. Jean-Luc Dompé has been struggling with Achilles tendon problems for months, and Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit is out until May with a syndesmosis tear. If Grønbaek passes the medical, HSV could soon add another option to their attack.
