Transfer strategy revealed! How HSV plan to boost their coffers | OneFootball

In their first year back in the Bundesliga, HSV’s sole focus is survival. However, in the long term, the club is pursuing higher ambitions.

Historically speaking, the Red Shorts are among the biggest and most successful teams in the country. In order to compete at the top level again in the future and generate the necessary revenue, HSV, under Stefan Kuntz and Claus Costa, is reportedly following a so-called “3+1 transfer system,” according to Sport Bild. This strategy aims to combine signings with different priorities.

The first pillar of this concept is the integration of young and developing players. The northern club is specifically targeting talents like Fabio Baldé and Otto Stange, who are gradually introduced or loaned out before being integrated into the professional squad. The goal is to continuously increase both their market value and performance.

Security transfers involving players with existing professional experience are intended to stabilize the team while still offering further development potential. A current example is Nicolai Remberg, who was signed from Bundesliga relegated side Holstein Kiel and quickly became a key player.

The third player group consists of so-called “bonus transfers,” which HSV can only make in special situations. A representative example is Fábio Vieira, who was loaned from Arsenal on deadline day. The promoted club has a seemingly utopian purchase option of around 20 million euros. But for at least one season, they can enjoy Vieira’s sporting qualities. Should the Portuguese player exceed all expectations, the clause could be activated to enable a profitable resale afterwards.

The HSV system is already bearing fruit

This 3+1 system has already proven itself in practice. Players like Giorgi Gocholeishvili (Category 2) or Alexander Rossing-Lelesist (Category 1) have been able to significantly increase their market value in a short time. This puts HSV in a position to act financially soundly while remaining competitive on the pitch.

Another positive example is Ludovit Reis. The Dutchman transferred to Club Brugge for seven million euros in the summer, after having previously led HSV to promotion. Had Ransford Königsdörffer not failed his medical in Nice, he would have brought the club a windfall as well.

In this way, the club at Volkspark aims to continue the economic recovery of recent years and, at least in the long term, set its sights on European competition once again!
