Sebastiaan Bornauw has agreed to return to the Bundesliga by agreeing to join Hamburg on loan, according to Sky Germany. An agreement has been reached between Leeds United and HSV for the move with an option to buy reportedly worth €4-5m, with a medical scheduled for Monday.
The 27-year-old center back spent the 2025/26 season in the Premier League where he made 12 appearances for Leeds. Before that he had a four-year stint at Wolfsburg where he showed his best qualities and managed to attract plenty of attention. This move sees him get back to a familiar environment in the Bundesliga where he has also played for Cologne.
The Belgian defender has represented his country at all youth levels, while making four appearances for the senior side with his last call up coming back in 2023.
Having signed Swiss center back Nico Elvedi from Borussia Mönchengladbach, Leeds have decided to allow Bornauw to join Hamburg.
