The signs clearly point to a farewell! After a botched season, Noah Katterbach could leave HSV in the coming days.
Interesting: To make a move to Eintracht Braunschweig happen, the Hamburg club might even have to pay compensation. As the Hamburger Abendblatt reports, Katterbach has basically agreed terms with the second-division club. The 25-year-old is said to have been convinced by the talks with the Lower Saxony side and wants to revive his career after some difficult years. Now the clubs still have to find a financial solution.
A classic transfer involving a fee appears rather unlikely. Although Katterbach is still under contract with HSV until 2027, he no longer plays any role in the club’s sporting plans. According to Abendblatt, it is even conceivable that the Rothosen may have to offer the defender a financial settlement to facilitate his departure. In return, Katterbach is apparently willing to accept a significant pay cut.

A quick split could be the most sensible solution for both sides. For months now, the player and the club have been looking for a way out of the deadlocked situation. Last season, Katterbach was practically no longer involved with the first team and was named in the Bundesliga squad only four times.
Explosive: It only became known a few days ago that the left-footer is said to have turned down 1. FC Nürnberg. Coach Miroslav Klose was considered a supporter of the transfer, but Katterbach decided against a move to Franconia. Now everything points to a future in Braunschweig.
Eintracht, for their part, already wanted to sign the former Germany U21 international in the winter. At the time, however, HSV still vetoed the move. Half a year later, the situation has changed fundamentally. The Hanseatic club is now looking for reinforcements out wide and would no longer stand in Katterbach’s way.
