SV 07 Elversberg’s historic promotion to the Bundesliga is also putting smiles on faces at HSV. Those in charge are likely to have followed the surprise team’s success with great interest.
Elversberg’s promotion could bring several million euros into the Rothosen’s coffers. As reported by the Hamburger Abendblatt, it is considered almost certain that the Saarland club will exercise the purchase options for HSV players Immanuel Pherai and Lukasz Poreba, who are currently out on loan.
Poreba is expected to cost around €1.5 million, while the fee for Pherai could be slightly higher still. Altogether, that would mean income of well over €3 million for the Hamburg club.
On top of that, HSV also appears to be benefiting from the transfer of former academy player Raif Adam. Sporting director Claus Costa is said to have negotiated performance-related bonus payments when the talent was sold. Thanks to the promotion, the original fee of around €400,000 could reportedly rise to as much as €1 million. If all of these scenarios come to pass, up to €4 million could flow from Elversberg to Hamburg this summer.

For the Rothosen, this cash injection comes at just the right time. After securing survival, attention has long since turned to squad planning for next season. And the first new signing already seems to be lined up. HSV are said to be working intensively on a move for Kofi Amoako from Dynamo Dresden.
The 21-year-old is considered one of the most exciting midfield talents in the 2. Bundesliga and impressed above all last season with his strength in challenges. The move, however, could apparently have been significantly cheaper. Had Dynamo been relegated, a lower release clause would reportedly have applied.
By staying up, Dresden have likely ensured that HSV will now have to invest between €1 million and €2 million. Compared with the reported demands from the winter, when Dynamo were supposedly able to ask for as much as €8 million, the deal still looks extremely attractive.
