Bericht HSV: Einigung on Sturm-Transfer brings Bornauw home

Bericht HSV announces an Einigung on a Sturm-Transfer as the club officially presented Sebastiaan Bornauw on loan from Leeds United on Wednesday, with a Kaufoption to make the move permanent in the coming Sommer.

Bornauw joins HSV on loan

The Belgian defender arrives on Leihbasis from Leeds United, filling the long‑awaited Vuskovic‑Nachfolger slot that the club has been hunting. Bornauw’s experience is seen as a direct answer to the defensive gap left by the departed Vuskovic.

Moffi deal adds firepower

In parallel, the HSV front office, led by Sportdirektor Claus Costa, has also secured a Transfer for Terem Moffi, the Nigerian striker, after negotiations with OGC Nice proved difficult. The exact Ablöse remains undisclosed, but Nice paid a proud 22.5 million Euro fee three years ago, suggesting HSV will at least part‑pay.

Moffi’s Ligue 1 résumé includes 148 appearances, 54 goals and 12 assists, although he has struggled for form over the past two seasons. The club hopes he can rediscover his top‑level scoring touch, similar to the earlier gamble on Patson Daka.

HSV’s recruitment drive also keeps Fabio Vieira on the radar as a creative midfield option, while the new striker remains a hot topic. The Einigung on the Sturm‑Transfer therefore signals a broader strategy to reinforce both defence and attack before the season’s second half.

For Bornauw, the loan offers regular playing time in the 2. Bundesliga and a chance to prove his worth ahead of a possible permanent move. For HSV, the deal provides immediate defensive stability and a potential long‑term asset, while the Moffi acquisition could boost the team’s goal output if the player adapts to the Elbe.
