Hamburger SV have landed Swedish forward Marcus Berg of FC Groningen, whose transfer seemed to be unlikely just hours earlier.
As the two clubs had difficulties agreeing terms, the Scandinavian became more and more likely to spend another season in the Netherlands. However, a deal was eventually made.
The 22-year-old Berg joined Groningen in 2007 and left a very positive impression with 33 goals in 56 games.
Although the height of the transfer wasn’t unveiled, Groningen do claim that it is their most lucrative sale in history.
