The Dane came to the Bundesliga from the 3rd division with RB and celebrated many successes. Now the departure of the identification figure is becoming more likely.

According to a media report, RB Leipzig striker Yussuf Poulsen has held talks with Hamburger SV officials about a move to the Hanseatic city. According to the report, the Bundesliga returnee is attracted to the Dane "by the flair of a cosmopolitan city, a club with a spirit of optimism and a regular place in head coach Merlin Polzin's team", reported the "Leipziger Volkszeitung".

A move would also bring the 31-year-old much closer to his homeland. According to the report, all three parties want the transfer, but financial issues still need to be clarified. The "Hamburger Abendblatt" reported that Poulsen would be prepared to make significant sacrifices to his salary.

In Hamburg, the veteran could replace Davie Selke, with whom he once played as a striker in Leipzig. Selke was unable to agree a new contract with HSV.

At RB, the departure of Poulsen would mark the end of an era, as the striker was involved in the Saxons' promotions to Bundesliga 2 and the Bundesliga. The Danish international has scored 49 goals in 233 Bundesliga games to date. His contract in Leipzig expires in June next year. Recently, however, he has only played a minor role due to persistent muscular problems.

A transfer of former national team player Timo Werner from RB to Red Bull New York in the USA, on the other hand, is said to be on the verge of collapse. The club and Werner are far apart in their salary expectations, reported the "LVZ".
