Fabio Baldé won the prestigious youth tournament in Toulon with Portugal’s U20 national team and impressed in front of the eyes of numerous European clubs.

Given the sheer concentration of talent, their scouts were naturally following the action on the southern French Mediterranean coast. According to information from Bild, PSV Eindhoven is said to have closely monitored the Hamburg academy product. Head coach Peter Bosz is reportedly particularly impressed by his pace. But Baldé is not only on the radar of the Dutch champions. Two Serie A clubs are also said to be taking a closer look at him.

The winger, who contributed two goals over the course of the tournament, appears to have many doors open to him in the upcoming transfer window. Since switching from the German to the Portuguese federation, his name has also been linked with that country’s top clubs. According to reports, FC Porto, Sporting, and Benfica are all looking into him—as they likely do with virtually all domestic junior internationals.

HSV: A Baldé sale could bring in fresh money for new signings

HSV could therefore receive one or two offers in the coming weeks. Unlike a year ago, when Burnley FC was pushing for the right-footed player, who can also play on the left, he likely would not necessarily veto a move this time. In addition, the player himself also appears interested in a transfer. As such, his camp hired several agencies at once to increase his presence on the market.

The move was also seen as a reaction to a mixed season in which Baldé only partially managed to establish himself in the Bundesliga. All told, he made 16 appearances and recorded just two goal contributions. A regular starting spot remained a long way off and will not be easy to secure next season either, which is why both sides could be open to parting ways despite his contract running until 2029.

The Hanseatic club needs transfer income to continue reshaping the squad. Baldé is expected to bring in at least six to seven million euros. So far, fresh funds have only come in from the sale of Lukasz Poreba to Elversberg. At the same time, HSV has already invested in Kofi Amoako (€1.9 million) as well as the permanent signing of Albert Grønbaek (€4.7 million), and the club still urgently needs reinforcements in several positions to be fully competitive in its second Bundesliga season after promotion.
