Report: Schonlau’s stance on a contract termination at HSV! | OneFootball

To get Sebastian Schonlau off the payroll, HSV is even considering a contract termination. But how does the player himself feel about it?

What has been apparent in recent weeks is becoming increasingly clear: there is no longer a place for Sebastian Schonlau at Hamburger SV! The center-back, once captain and key player, has been pushed to the sidelines under coach Merlin Polzin. At the latest, after losing the armband to new signing Yussuf Poulsen and being left out of the cup game against FK Pirmasens, every fan can see that the 31-year-old is no longer playing a significant role.

Schonlau himself is taking a realistic view of his situation. According to a Mopo report, he is said to have already considered giving up the captaincy voluntarily before the official decision was made. Nevertheless, the frustration is great: so far, there have been no inquiries from interesting clubs, either from the 2nd league or from abroad. His agents are intensively scouting the market, but as of now, there are no concrete offers on the table.

HSV offers Schonlau contract termination

Against this background, a scenario is now coming into focus that could help both the club and the player: a mutual contract termination. According to Mopo information, Schonlau is not averse to this step. The condition: no buyer is found by the end of the transfer period.

HSV could save salary through this, while Schonlau would have the opportunity to sign with a new club even outside of the transfer window. A severance pay in the six-figure range is considered likely.

However, the former captain is still keeping all options open. A stay at the Volkspark is also possible, although it is not the preferred option. One thing is certain: Schonlau does not want to spend months sitting on the bench and would be willing to take a hard cut at HSV in order to get regular playing time.
