Club security Rafael van der Vaart confirmed that this summer he will most likely join the club's ranks.
The 21-year-old player stated that he has already agreed to the personal contract terms offered by the Hamburg team: "I agreed to the contract terms offered by Hamburg," said the Dutchman. "I'm sure I will go to Germany. HSV is a great club, with which I will sign a four-year contract."
Indeed, the transfer of the Dutchman is not as guaranteed as the player himself claims. Ajax is not willing to release the young talent for less than 7 million, while Hamburger is only willing to pay 5 million euros.
R. van der Vaart was recently named one of the most promising football players on the planet and was even compared to the legendary Johan Cruyff. At that time, the strongest European teams paid attention to the Dutchman.
Nevertheless, the footballer suffered several serious injuries, after which he could not demonstrate the excellent game that all Ajax fans and coaches expected from him.
