Hamburg's Olic '90 per cent certain' to leave in January

Hamburg forward Ivica Olic is "90 per cent certain" to leave the Bundesliga club this winter.

The 36-year-old has hardly had a look-in since Bruno Labbadia took charge of the club back in April, and the Croatian is preparing to find a new team for the second half of the campaign.

"I've already spoken to Hamburg and I will do that again in the coming days," Olic told the Bild newspaper.

"I'm looking for a solution. It's 90 per cent certain I'll go somewhere else this winter.

"I will do everything to ensure I can play again in the second half of the season. Anything's possible right now and I am open to anything, even for a move abroad."

Olic returned to HSV for a second spell in January, saying it was his dream to end his career at the northern outfit.

That dream has turned into a nightmare, however, with just six substitute appearances so far this term, despite being first choice last season after arriving from Wolfsburg.

The former Bayern Munich forward is also at risk of losing his place in the Croatia squad for the European Championship.
