Hamburg have accepted a bid from Manchester City
for Belgium defender Vincent Kompany, according to the German
Bundesliga club.
Details of the agreement regarding a possible move for the
22-year-old were not disclosed in a statement posted on Hamburg's
official website.
But Kompany's future at Hamburg has been called into question in
recent days after he fell out with club bosses over his continued
involvement for Belgium at the Olympic Games in Beijing.
Hamburg had ordered Kompany to return from the Games in time for
their first Bundesliga game of the season last Friday despite the
Red Devils' run to the final four in Beijing.
His appearance in the season-opening fixture against Bayern
Munich now appears set to be his 39th and last for the club since
joining from Anderlecht in 2006.
"We wish Vincent all the best for his future," said Hamburg's
director of football Dietmar Beiersdorfer.
