Vieira a bargain? How much HSV’s new stars are costing! | OneFootball

In the final days of the transfer period, HSV presented three new players. The Red Shorts may have managed to secure some real bargain deals.

Eleven new arrivals in one summer - Hamburger SV has made a strong impact on the transfer market and, following their successful promotion to the Bundesliga, has undergone a genuine overhaul! Sporting Director Stefan Kuntz and Director of Sport Claus Costa put together a completely revamped team in just a few weeks. The late signings from England, in particular, are causing a stir.

HSV invested just under ten million euros according to Bild information in total for transfers, loan fees, and agent fees. Compared to the spending of many league competitors, this is a manageable amount. And yet, they managed to attract players with a high market value to Volkspark.

HSV: High quality at a low price!

The transfer of Fabio Vieira is particularly interesting in this respect: The 25-year-old Portuguese comes from Arsenal FC and has a market value of 22 million euros. But ideally, he could turn out to be a mega bargain. The agreement: The more often Vieira is used, the cheaper he becomes. If he becomes an undisputed regular player, the payment could even be completely waived.

The other transfers should not strain the club's coffers too much either. For 18-year-old Luka Vuskovic, on loan from Tottenham, a loan fee of just under one million euros is due. The young Croatian is expected to organize the defense and enrich the game's build-up. Albert Sambi Lokonga also came from London and cost the Red Shorts just 300,000 euros plus possible bonus payments. For comparison: His market value is a respectable 8 million euros!

On the flip side, the departure of Ludovit Reis to FC Bruges could bring in up to seven million euros. All in all, HSV stayed below its own calculation in terms of transfer expenses and thus keeps a financial cushion open. Whether the club's own goals can also be achieved on the pitch will be shown in the coming weeks and months.
