Ex-ultra elected new Hamburg president as club labelled 'debt free'
Former ultra fan Henrik Köncke has been voted as the new president of SV Hamburg, just over a month after their promotion back to the Bundesliga.
Köncke, previously one of the club's radical supporters in the stands, received a clear majority of 65.71% to succeed former player Marcell Jansen. Ex-coach Felix Magath was controversially not allowed to stand for election.

Finance chief Eric Huwer also told Saturday's annual general meeting that the club are "debt-free" as they head back to the German top flight.
Hamburg had been in the second tier since relegation in 2018.

RB Leipzig complete signing of winger Johan Bakayoko from PSV
RB Leipzig have completed the signing of winger Johan Bakayoko from PSV. The Athletic reported on July 10 that Nottingham Forest were interested in signing the 22-year-old as they looked to bolster their forward ranks. However, the Belgium international has signed a five-year deal with the German club, which will keep him at the Red Bull Arena until 2030. Upon joining the club, Bakayoko said: 'I'm really looking forward to a new challenge at RB Leipzig. The club has made a name for itself internationally and represents ambitious, attacking football, which is just the way I like it. 'I was impressed by the way that Leipzig have tried again and again to sign me over the past few years and made me feel as though they were fully committed to me. That and the recent conversations with the management were decisive for me in choosing to move to Leipzig and the Bundesliga. Advertisement 'I immediately got the impression that there's a clear plan for me and that I can bring my strengths to the table in a targeted way here. RB Leipzig are a club which challenges and fosters young talent. I'm ready to work hard here, to take responsibility, and want to celebrate successes with the team and with our fans.' 🚨 Bakayoko has 𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗗 🚨 — RB Leipzig English (@RBLeipzig_EN) July 16, 2025 Speaking to The Athletic in 2024, Bakayoko said: 'In the next five years, I want to be close to winning the Ballon d'Or. I'll do my best and see where it can end, but I don't want to give myself limits. I don't want to say, 'I remember when I won the Ballon d'Or', or something like this. I want to keep going.' After beginning his career in Belgium, Bakayoko joined PSG's youth academy in 2019. He went on to score 33 goals in 130 senior appearances for PSV, including 26 goals over the past two seasons. The winger has also scored one goal in 18 appearances for the Belgium national team and featured in two games in last summer's European Championship. Bakyoko will wear the number nine shirt, which was recently vacated by striker Yusssuf Poulsen, who left the club after 12 years to join Hamburg last Sunday. 'I know how much Yussi means to the club,' Bakyoko said. 'He's a Leipzig legend. I'll do my best to maintain the honour of the number 9 shirt. I'll always give it my all. The fans can be sure of that.' He becomes Leipzig's sixth signing of the summer transfer window following the arrivals of Arthur Vermeeren from Atletico Madrid, Yan Diomande from Leganes, Ezekiel Banzuzi from OH Leuven, Ezekiel Banzuzi, Andrija Maksimovic from Red Star Belgrade, and Max Finkgrafe from Koln.

PSV will not take Bakayoko and De Jong to German training camp
Johan Bakayoko will not be travelling with PSV to the training camp in Germany due to transfer speculation. Luuk de Jong will also be absent. Several clubs have approached PSV for Bakayoko, who still has one year of his contract remaining in Eindhoven. The winger is highly sought after and is expected to earn at least 20 million euros. Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth, among others, are all eyeing Bakayoko. German sources reported last weekend that Leverkusen are the best candidate to acquire Bakayoko, but Erik ten Hag's new employer are in danger of being outmanoeuvred by RB Leipzig. With Ezechiel Banzuzi, Lutsharel Geertruida, and Xavi Simons, three former Eredivisie talents are already under contract with Die Roten Bullen. Besides Bakayoko, Luuk de Jong is also absent from PSV's Marienfeld six-day training camp. The club icon showed up at De Herdgang last week and trained individually. It remains unclear whether De Jong, who has been a free agent since July 1st, will commit his future to PSV or embark on a foreign adventure. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield
