No multi-million move after all? HSV star ‘not for sale’ | OneFootball

With the upcoming summer transfer window in mind, Fabio Baldé is considered one of HSV’s hottest candidates to leave. The youngster has a market and could bring the club millions in revenue despite playing only a minor sporting role.

All in all, Baldé featured 16 times last season, but was allowed to start only three times. “That’s too little for my standards,” the 20-year-old made clear after the 3–2 win over SC Freiburg on matchday 33. Just a few minutes earlier, he had scored his first Bundesliga goal to make it 3–1 at the time, then celebrated visibly emotional in front of the Nordtribüne.

But Baldé was rarely granted moments like that in recent months. The homegrown player was near the bottom of Hamburg’s pecking order on the wings. A move was therefore already on the cards in winter. According to information from Bild, Belgian top club RSC Anderlecht is said to have offered a hefty five million euros. HSV, however, rejected it and hoped for further development from the youngster. That, however, largely failed to materialize.

HSV eyeing an “extraordinary offer”

A separation this summer therefore seemed the most likely scenario. Especially since Baldé, because of his young age and unquestionable potential, would be predestined to bring HSV a sizeable transfer fee, which the club could then invest in new signings. It has repeatedly been said that the winger has a market especially in Portugal. After all, he goes hunting for goals for the Iberians’ U20 national team.

But are the Rothosen actually planning something completely different for the top talent? Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg reported late on Wednesday evening that Baldé is “generally not for sale.” That would change only if “an extraordinary offer” arrived at the Volkspark. At the moment, however, that is not the case. So it remains open at what sum HSV would actually be willing to talk and whether potential interested clubs would be prepared to pay it.
