Hamburger SV (HSV) has engaged in several player movements as part of its squad planning for the upcoming season.

In mid-August, the club confirmed the sale of academy graduate Fabio Baldé to French Ligue 1 side Racing Strasbourg for a guaranteed base fee of approximately €7 million, plus potential seven-figure bonuses. HSV also reportedly secured a ten-percent share of any future profit from a subsequent sale of the winger.

Following this sale, the club has continued its transfer activity. Defender Sebastiaan Bornauw is expected to join Leeds United on a loan deal with a purchase option valued at roughly 4.6 million euros. Additionally, HSV is pursuing Nigerian striker Terem Moffi and evaluating several youth talents for potential promotion to the professional squad.
