For a €1.5 million transfer fee, Yussuf Poulsen the 31-year-old Danish international, will join just the second Bundesliga team in his lengthy career. The German Red Bulls will buy out Poulsen for €1 million. At a press conference on Thursday, Stefan Kuntz, the HSV board member for sports, disclosed that Poulsen's move was almost finalized. In this instance, Hamburg is receiving a great deal. Even at this point in his career, Poulsen, who still scored six goals for Leipzig in all competitions last season, is valued at an estimated €5 million.
Poulsen will take Davie Selke's spot as Hamburg's top 2. Bundesliga scorer from the previous campaign. The specific Turkish club to which Selke will be moving was made public yesterday. Basaksehir Istanbul signed the 30-year-old. Selke, who was moving overseas for the first time in his turbulent career, sent a heartfelt video message saying goodbye to the German club where he eventually thrived.
