With option to buy: HSV sign Danish international | OneFootball

The transfer of Albert Grønbaek to HSV is official. The 24-year-old Dane is joining the Elbe club on loan from Stade Rennes.

Additionally, HSV has secured a purchase option, which, according to Bild information, is said to be around five million euros. Grønbaek already completed the mandatory medical check-up on Thursday and is now available to coach Merlin Polzin.

The versatile attacking player can operate both in central midfield and on either wing, and is expected to add extra flexibility to HSV’s offense. Most recently, Grønbaek was on loan to Italian Serie A club CFC Genoa. However, he only made four appearances there and struggled with muscular problems for a time. These are said to be fully resolved now.

Whether he will be ready for immediate action in the top match against FC Bayern (6:30 p.m., Sky) remains questionable. Ideally, Grønbaek could have been an alternative to the suspended Jean-Luc Dompé on the left side. However, since the deal only became official on Saturday morning, a spontaneous debut at the Volksparkstadion is likely too soon.

He continues: “He is a creative player with high technical quality, has a good eye for goal, and at the same time brings great commitment to his defensive work.”
