€20m move to BVB? HSV were keen on Norway talent! | OneFootball

Will HSV pay the club-record transfer fee of around €20 million for a top talent from Norway?

The player in question is Edvin Austbø, who is considered one of the most exciting wingers of his age group in Europe and is currently making quite a stir. Austbø is still tied to Viking Stavanger on a long-term deal, but his performances suggest a move to a stronger league could be coming soon.

Last season, the dribble-strong left winger produced impressive scoring numbers and played a decisive role in his club’s league title. It is therefore no surprise that numerous clubs are inquiring about him.

HSV were among them as well. According to Sky information, the Hamburg club looked closely at the attacking talent, but quickly backed away. The reason: the asking price of €17 to €18 million is simply too high for the Rothosen. A transfer of this magnitude is currently out of the question for the newly promoted Bundesliga side.

HSV have no chance: Is Austbø heading to BVB?

The situation looks very different for clubs with significantly greater financial power. Alongside FC Copenhagen and Lille OSC, Borussia Dortmund is also being mentioned as a possible destination. At least, that is the player’s own preference. Austbø is said to have identified BVB as his absolute dream club.

Whether Dortmund will actually make a serious move remains unclear. What is clear, however, is that the Black and Yellows are sounding out the market for reinforcements on the attacking flanks. As part of possible tactical adjustments by coach Niko Kovac, classic wide forwards could once again move more into focus. Austbø fits that profile almost perfectly.

In the end, HSV are left with nothing more than the role of interested observer.
