Loyal Supporter Backstabbed by HSV Star Capaldo, His Buddy and Girlfriend: World Champion Betrayed
**Nicolás Capaldo Joins Hamburg SV in the Bundesliga**
Argentine midfielder Nicolás Capaldo is set to make a new start in German football, joining Hamburger SV (HSV) after a successful four-year stint at Red Bull Salzburg in Austria.
Capaldo, 26, has agreed to a contract that will keep him at HSV until the summer of 2028. His arrival at the club comes as a replacement for Ludovit Reis, who recently left for Club Brugge. The transfer fee is reported to be around €4.5 million, with a resale clause in favour of Salzburg.
HSV's latest acquisition is no stranger to high-pressure environments, having played a key role in Salzburg's success over the past four years. During his time there, Capaldo featured in 126 games, scoring 15 goals and providing 10 assists. He helped the team win two championship titles and a Cup, showcasing his aggressive leadership and attacking prowess.
Capaldo's journey in football began at Boca Juniors, one of Argentina's most prestigious clubs. While there is no recorded information about him playing alongside Carlos Tevez and Daniele de Rossi, both well-known figures in Argentine football, Capaldo did learn a lot from the duo during his time at Boca Juniors.
Capaldo's decision to join HSV was not a hasty one. He had the opportunity to return to Argentina, but chose to continue his career in European football, finding the club and its fans appealing. The move to the Bundesliga was facilitated during the summer break in his home country, after he learned about HSV's interest.
Capaldo's girlfriend, Agustina, who is his biggest supporter, will be moving to Hamburg with him. The couple have been together for four years and moved to Salzburg together. They are now preparing for another exciting chapter in their lives in Germany.
Capaldo is expected to make his debut for HSV on Saturday against Sturm Graz. He is planned as a tough two-on-one fighter for the central midfield, bringing significant energy, mentality, and temperament to the team.
Capaldo's career history also includes playing alongside Argentine striker legend Carlos Tevez, with whom he played a total of 43 times at Boca Juniors from 2019 to 2021. He has also played alongside World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister, both at Boca Juniors and Argentina's oldest youth team.
Capaldo is close with the Mac Allister family and even grew up in the football academy of Carlos Javier Mac Allister, the father of Alexis and Kevin Mac Allister. He recently attended Kevin's wedding in Argentina a month ago.
Capaldo has only had four training days in Herzogenaurach and is yet to fully assess Merlin Polzin's plans for HSV in the Bundesliga. Despite this, he is confident about the level at HSV, comparing it to that at Salzburg, where he played 22 times in the Champions League.
With Capaldo's arrival, HSV fans are looking forward to seeing the newcomer in action and witnessing the impact he will have on the team in the upcoming season.
Football has always been a part of Nicolás Capaldo's journey, and he is set to continue his career in European leagues, joining Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga. As a skilled midfielder, Capaldo's aggressive leadership and attacking prowess gained him recognition while playing for Salzburg in the Austrian league, earning him a transfer to HSV after four successful years.
