A social media post on Wednesday claimed that Bundesliga club HSV had serious interest in Antonio Tikvic, and that negotiations were already underway. Tikvic is a 22-year-old Croatian-German center-back from Preußen Münster. There was no confirmation of this from the player, who is a native of Hamburg and has recently recovered from a cruciate ligament rupture, nor from his management or his club. Tikvic said that he did not understand the rumor himself. Tikvic joined Preußen Münster in July 2025 and has 9 caps for the Croatia U21 national team. His current Transfermarkt market value is €700k.
