Milan’s Sokratis Papastathopoulos On Hamburg Radar

Greek defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos could be on his way out of Serie A giants Milan at the end of the season as Bundesliga outfit Hamburg have shown an interest in signing the 22-year-old, Gazzetta.gr reports.

HSV are eager to add some more depth to their defense in the summer transfer window and they supposedly see Papastathopoulos as the perfect addition to their squad.

The centerback started his professional career with AEK Athens and also wore the jerseys of Niki Volou and Genoa before joining Milan in the summer of 2010.

However, Papastathopoulos has been struggling to get regular first team action with the Rossoneri and could therefore be on his way out again at the end of the season.

He was recently linked with a move to Zenit St. Petersburg, but the player’s agent made it clear that Papastathopoulos is not interested in a move to Russia. A transfer to Germany could be more appealing for the defender though.
