Overview
- The transfer was confirmed Tuesday when Hamburger SV and VfL Wolfsburg announced that Glatzel has left HSV to join Wolfsburg after weeks of negotiation.
- Glatzel signed a contract running until the end of June 2028 for a reported fee of about €1.5 million and completed a medical in Wolfsburg ahead of joining the squad.
- The 32-year-old gave an emotional video farewell to HSV, citing gratitude for five years at the club and explaining the move followed a season with limited playing time.
- VfL officials said they expect Glatzel to bolster the club’s attacking options and the striker was due to take part in Wolfsburg’s first summer training session the day after the announcement.
- Glatzel scored 84 goals in 150 competitive matches for HSV, making him a fan favourite, and his exit is part of broader summer turnover at HSV that includes a reported Noah Katterbach move to Eintracht Braunschweig.
