Hamburger SV is currently evaluating the potential signings of Sebastiaan Bornauw and Terem Moffi. Sporting director Claus Costa confirmed both players are on the club’s shortlist, though no deal is imminent, and they are not the only options for their respective positions.
Who are the candidates?
Sebastiaan Bornauw, a centre-back at Leeds United, remains without a clear role despite his contract running until 2029. The 27-year-old Belgian could bolster HSV’s defence. Terem Moffi, a striker, is still tied to OGC Nice after his loan spell at FC Porto. The Nigerian could strengthen the club’s attacking line.
Why do these transfers matter?
With 31 points from 29 games and a 13th-place finish in the 2025/26 Bundesliga, Hamburger SV is seeking reinforcements to stabilise the defence and improve offensive efficiency. The team scored 32 goals and conceded 45, resulting in a -13 goal difference.
What happens next?
According to Claus Costa, discussions with the players and their clubs will continue, but there is no rush. HSV will monitor developments closely and act if the opportunity arises. The team’s next fixture is at home against 1899 Hoffenheim on 20 February 2027.
