HSV keep control: This is what Adam’s buy-back clause will cost | OneFootball

HSV is letting go of one of its offensive talents. Wing jewel Raif Adam is on the verge of transferring to SV 07 Elversberg.

According to consistent media reports, the Rothosen have secured a buy-back option, giving them decisive influence over the sporting future of the wing player.

For the transfer, Hamburg initially receives around 400,000 euros in transfer fees. Through performance-based bonus payments, the sum can significantly increase and, in the best case, should Elversberg be promoted to the Bundesliga, even more than double.

Although Adam has almost no experience in the professional field, the Saarlanders are investing a considerable amount of money. Between 2019 and 2022, the 20-year-old went through parts of the HSV youth system, returning to Volkspark last summer after stints at Eimsbütteler TV and SC Victoria.

In the second team, the offensive player quickly impressed. Seven goals and six assists in 21 appearances for the U21 underscored his class. Elversberg sees him as a suitable addition to their squad, ideally fitting into the game system with speed and one-on-one strength.

Raif Adam: HSV secures buy-back option

However, HSV is not completely giving up control over its jewel. A buy-back clause is anchored in the transfer papers. Should Adam make the hoped-for development step in Elversberg, Hamburg can, according to Bild reports, strike for a fixed transfer fee of about two million euros.

The lucrative nature of Elversberg's model of bringing in young players from the amateur sector was recently demonstrated by the case of Younes Ebnoutalib. Signed from the regional league, the striker developed into the top scorer in the second division. Just a few days ago, he transferred to Frankfurt for around eight million euros.

Also curious: After the official announcement of the transfer, Adam would already be the seventh professional with an HSV past in the Elversberg squad. Besides the loan players Otto Stange and Lukasz Poreba, Luis Seifert, Maximilian Rohr, Jan Gyamerah, and Lukas Pinckert once laced up their football boots at the Waterkant.
