Wolfsburg chase HSV star! Is Glatzel heading to 2. Bundesliga? | OneFootball

That Robert Glatzel could leave HSV this summer has long been no secret. But now there is a surprising rumor.

As kicker reports, VfL Wolfsburg are seriously considering a move for the prolific striker. According to the report, talks with the player’s camp are already underway. So is Glatzel really about to turn his back on the Rothosen?

The 32-year-old has been one of HSV’s defining figures for years. Especially during the club’s time in the 2. Bundesliga, he was an absolute focal point in attack, scoring 22 goals in a season twice and 19 once. Although his role changed after promotion, his standing around the club remains very high.

That is precisely why Wolfsburg’s interest is likely to be watched very closely in Hamburg. Following their relegation from the Bundesliga, the Lower Saxony club want to strengthen with experienced players who know the 2. Bundesliga, according to kicker. Glatzel fits that profile perfectly and could become a real trump card in the fight for immediate promotion back to the top flight.

Glatzel unhappy with his playing time at HSV

From HSV’s point of view, the key question is: what are the plans for their long-time top striker? Glatzel is still under contract at the Volkspark until 2027. At the same time, rumors of an imminent departure have been circulating for months. The main reason: the veteran is far from satisfied with his sporting role, something he also made clear in March in a widely quoted interview with Mopo. In the season just ended, he made 19 appearances but was in the starting lineup only seven times. Even so, with three goals and three assists, he showed that he can still make the difference.

A change of scenery would therefore be understandable from a sporting perspective. In Wolfsburg, Glatzel could also take on a central role in an ambitious team. To do so, however, he would have to be willing to play in the second tier once again.
