Westermann to leave Schalke for Hamburg

Soccer Betting Lines

07/20/2010 - Gelsenkirchen, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Germany defender Heiko Westermann is set to leave Schalke for Hamburg, according to Schalke coach Felix Magath.

Westermann missed the recent FIFA World Cup with injury and the 26-year-old wants starting role at center back, something Magath would not guarantee.

"Heiko has quit our training camp as he is on his way to Hamburg," Magath told Deutsche Presseagentur. "The paperwork is still missing the signatures, but I am confident this will go through in time.

"I was very much unwilling to accept his transfer, looking at things from the viewpoint of a manager.

"In the end I have agreed to this transfer due to the overall situation of our club. I was unable to guarantee him first-team football as he was wanting to play in the center of defense, which is his ideal position."

The Bundesliga seasons starts Aug. 20.
