Mehmet Eser, the agent representing Silas Katompa Mvumpa, responded to the circulating rumors regarding his client's potential transfer to Hamburger SV. He clarified that, as of now, there has been no contact from Hamburger SV, although he has been approached by several agents who claimed they could assist in facilitating Silas's move to HSV. Eser noted that he traditionally maintains good relationships in Hamburg. The forward, who is currently with VfB Stuttgart, is not expected to have a future at the club, having spent the previous season on loan at Red Star Belgrade due to intense competition in the offensive lineup. Despite his time there, the Serbian club did not take up the purchase option, which was set at ten million euros.
