In the search for a playmaker, HSV seems to have struck out: Paul Wanner is on the verge of a move to the Netherlands!
Four days before the start of the Bundesliga, the officials of Hamburger SV are still working under high pressure on at least two transfers: in addition to another center-back, a creative player for the central midfield is being sought!
But the hopes for the repeatedly discussed Paul Wanner seem to have been dashed. The talent of FC Bayern has been on the HSV's list for several weeks. Meanwhile, however, there are only a few indications that the 19-year-old will soon arrive at the Volkspark. On the contrary: it's likely heading to the Netherlands.
According to the information from the portal soccernews.nl, PSV Eindhoven is in promising talks with the offensive jewel. An agreement with Wanner himself and his environment is within reach. The only thing that remains open is whether Bayern wants to lend the youngster or give him away permanently. Both clubs are still negotiating the specific transfer model.
For HSV, the Wanner chapter is likely to be closed for good. In recent weeks, the signing of a strong number 10 has been cited as one of the central tasks of this transfer period. After the departure of Ludovit Reis and the failed return of Adam Karabec, there is a recognizable gap in the Hanseatic creative center.
How difficult the Reds are finding it football-wise was not least evident in the DFB Cup against FK Pirmasens (2:1 a.e.t.). Even in the previous test matches, the promoted team rarely created scoring opportunities. After the (allegedly) failed transfer of Paul Wanner, the HSV's search for a number 10 will continue for the time being! Stefan Kuntz and Claus Costa still have eleven days left.
