Permanent Grønbaek deal? HSV chief announces talks! | OneFootball

With a goal and an assist, Albert Grønbaek became the match-winner against Eintracht Frankfurt. Will the Dane stay at HSV beyond the summer?

That question is more relevant than ever after his brilliant display in the second half. After being sidelined for several weeks with injury at the start of his time at the Volkspark, Grønbaek had already been showing increasingly strong performances in recent weeks.

In Frankfurt, Merlin Polzin deployed the 24-year-old as a left wing-back. In a completely unfamiliar role, he delivered an outstanding performance and, especially with the assist for the 2–1, showed the kind of special technical quality he possesses.

“I’m just really happy. Today was a lot of fun,” Grønbaek said after the match. About his goal for 1–1, he said: “Sometimes you need a bit of luck as well, but a lucky goal counts too.”

Grønbaek: “I really like it at HSV”

So, just in time for the final phase of the season, Grønbaek and HSV seem to be getting along better and better. The catch: the versatile attacker is only on loan and could return to his parent club Stade Rennes after the season. However, the Rothosen have a purchase option worth five million euros, meaning they hold all the cards.

“I’m looking forward to the talks in the summer,” current sole board member Eric Huwer announced (via Hamburger Abendblatt) after the win in Frankfurt. “The transfer has been an absolute success for us. After the injury, we had to wait a little for him. But today we saw that the wait was worth it. It feels like he is very happy here with us in Hamburg.”

Grønbaek himself even reinforced that point. “I really like it at HSV, and I’m very grateful for the opportunity I’ve been given here at HSV,” he made clear. He now has two more weeks to continue making his case.
