Glatzel and Königsdörffer in focus: HSV reveal their transfer plans! | OneFootball

In the HSV environment, there has been lively discussion in recent weeks about the current striker situation. The club management will also be consulting in the near future.

In the 1-0 cup victory against 1. FC Heidenheim, Robert Glatzel became the striker hero that Hamburg had been missing for so long. His first competitive goal of the season brought HSV into the round of 16 and reignited the recently emerged discussion about the attack.

However, Glatzel seems to be out of the picture. Against VfL Wolfsburg (0:1), the 31-year-old was not even in the squad and afterwards openly spoke of "disappointment." Speculations about an early departure were the logical consequence. According to Bild information, however, Glatzel remains firmly planned. His contract runs until 2027, and a departure in winter is not intended by the club. Sports director Stefan Kuntz recently made it clear: "We are well positioned for the entire season with Königsdörffer, Poulsen, and Glatzel."

HSV continues to work on Königsdörffer's extension

As of now, Hamburg does not plan to sign a new starting striker during the winter break. Instead, the focus is on extending the contract with Ransford Königsdörffer, whose contract expires in the summer. Although the 24-year-old is currently in a scoring crisis, he remains a key player in Merlin Polzin's system. In Heidenheim, he was the one who forced the red card against Tim Siersleben with a sprint, turning the game in HSV's favor.

In the background, the Rothosen are still working on several scenarios. After Glatzel's separation from his agency, it is unclear how the veteran views his future. Should he indeed seek a move in winter, the club wants to be prepared.

Next week, bosses and scouts will meet at Volkspark for a strategy summit. The personnel situation in the attack will undoubtedly be one of the most discussed topics!
