Defender Rick van Drongelen moved from Rotterdam Sparta to Hamburg.
Hamburg signed a five-year contract with 18-year-old defender Rick van Drongelen. Sparta earned 3 million euros on this transfer, and this amount could increase by another one million due to bonuses depending on the performances of the Dutchman. This is the second largest transfer in the history of Sparta, second only to the sale of Marvin Emnes to Middlesbrough for 4 million euros in 2008.
The pupil of Sparta, who plays in the center or on the left flank of the defense, made his debut in the first team in 2015 and has since had 46 matches in the team (1 goal).
