Last Saturday it was announced that Van der Vaart gets a new contract with HSV and so should be looking for a new club. The former player include Ajax and Real Madrid severed itself long before the plunge.

“It is indeed a bit different than reported,” said the 32-year-old midfielder in conversation with Voetbal International . “The truth is that I had months back already decided not to stay at HSV, I’m looking for another challenge. And HSV needs a breath of fresh air.”

Never a good time

“You can say that we have decided in consultation,” Van der Vaart says. “Maybe that’s news to me now what silly happens. But the ideal time to bring this out does not exist. In the situation where Hamburger SV is currently experiencing, it is not really nice if I myself would call and let me go.”
