Sebastian Schonlau is leaving Hamburger SV, with Sky Germany reporting that the defender is set to move to the Vancouver Whitecaps.

The deal comes as a huge positive for the Hanseatic club who were keen to get the centre-half off their payroll this summer.

Schonlau is scheduled to travel to Canada tomorrow, Wednesday 20 August, to complete his medical.

Upon the successful completion of the medical, the 31-year-old is expected to sign a contract until 2027.

HSV will receive a transfer fee in the low six-figure euro range for its former captain one year before his contract expires.

In Vancouver, Schonlau will link up with Bayern Munich legend Thomas Müller who joined the Canadian MLS club earlier this summer.
