HSV sign Nicolás Capaldo
Hamburg have signed Argentinian midfielder Nicolás Capaldo from Red Bull Salzburg.
Capaldo completed his medical check on 10 July before putting pen to paper on a contract of undisclosed length.
"HSV are a big club," the 26-year-old said. "I'm very happy to be here now. I'm a player who brings a lot of energy to the game and always gives 100 percent every minute. Now I can’t wait to start training with my new teammates and hopefully have a successful season."
After coming through the ranks at Boca Juniors in his native Argentina he went on to make 65 competitive outings for the first team, including a league and cup double in 2019/20.
Salzburg came calling ahead of the 2021/22 campaign. The tenacious midfielder contributed 15 goals and 10 assists in 126 appearances for the Austrian side, including 22 in the UEFA Champions League.
"He brings a lot of energy, mentality, and passion, which will benefit our team in the Bundesliga both on and off the pitch," said HSV board member for sport Stefan Kuntz.
