According to Transfermarkt, Hamburger SV have signed US men’s national team striker Damion Downs on an initial loan from Southampton, which includes an option to buy that could make the 21-year-old one of the three most expensive signings in club history. Southampton will receive a loan fee of €500,000, and Hamburg will pay the player’s wages. The option to make the transfer permanent at the end of the season is for a fee of approximately €10 million plus add-ons that could increase the deal to €12m. A fee of that size would be more than what the club paid for Marcus Berg, who cost €10m, or Vincent Kompany, who cost €10.5m.
