The 25-year-old was reportedly observed during Turkey’s 4-1 defeat by Italy, with HSV assessing whether to make another move for him when the January window opens.
According to Aksam, Hamburg’s interest dates back to the summer, when the Bundesliga club first examined Aydın as a possible attacking addition. The latest scouting trip suggests the player remains under consideration rather than being the subject of an imminent offer.
Aydın has a contract with Fenerbahçe until 2028. He has also established himself in the Turkey squad, earning 14 international caps, although his club role has remained relatively limited.
The winger has contributed one goal and two assists in six league appearances this season. Those numbers have not translated into a regular starting position, with Aydın currently operating more as a squad option at Fenerbahçe.
That situation could make a January approach more realistic if HSV decide they need additional attacking depth.
Aydın’s versatility and experience in Turkish football are understood to have appealed to Hamburg, who are now assessing him ahead of the next transfer window. The club’s scouts are expected to continue monitoring his performances before any decision is made.
The interest is not entirely new. Aydın was linked with Hamburg during the summer, but no deal materialised before the transfer window closed.
For Fenerbahçe, there is no immediate contractual pressure to sell because the winger remains tied to the club for another two seasons. Any January move would therefore depend on the terms offered and Aydın’s own position within the squad.
Hamburg’s latest scouting activity indicates that the club have not abandoned the possibility. Instead, they appear to be gathering more information before deciding whether to turn their interest into a formal approach.
With the January window approaching, Aydın’s role at Fenerbahçe will be one of the factors HSV can assess before determining whether another move for the Turkey international makes sense.
The coming weeks should provide HSV with a clearer picture of whether Aydın can become a realistic January target.
