Increased incentive in Bruges!
Hamburger SV (HSV) are adjusting their squad for the upcoming Bundesliga season, with key decisions already being made regarding the futures of several players. The loan players Marco Richter (Mainz) and Adedire Mebude (Westerlo) are set to return to their parent clubs. However, the situation surrounding midfielder Ludovit Reis remains uncertain, with Club Brugge showing a keen interest.
Bruges has increased its transfer offer to approximately €5.5 million, including bonuses, compared to an initial offer of approximately €3 million. Despite this substantial bid and Reis's desire to join the Belgian club, HSV remain determined to keep him and are current in negotiations [5].
Reis's contract with HSV expires at the end of the season, adding pressure on both parties to reach a decision swiftly. HSV's management and coach Merlin Polzin are hoping to persuade Reis to stay, given his impressive performances in the latter half of the previous campaign [5].
Alongside Reis, HSV have other midfield and forward options. Adam Karabec, on loan from Sparta Prague, is part of the team, while striker Davie Selke also features for the club, suggesting a balance in their attacking approach and potential midfield restructuring plans [2].
In light of these developments, the club finds itself in a delicate position, withstanding Brugge's offer while attempting to retain Reis, who seems eager to move to the Belgian club. The situation underscores Reis's importance to HSV's squad strategy for the approaching season.
