The 35-year-old is returning to the Imtech Arena, with his current club Wolfsburg reportedly closing on a deal for Chelsea attacker Andre Schurrle

Ivica Olic has revealed he is set to leave Wolfsburg and return to former side Hamburg.

Olic said he has already reached an agreement with Hamburg and will be ready to play for Josef Zinnbauer’s men at the weekend when he has undergone a medical on Friday before signing an 18-month contract.

According to reports in Germany, Andre Schurrle is close to a €30 million move to Wolfsburg from Chelsea and it appears the Bundesliga side are making space for that potential move by offloading the forward.

“I’m glad we found a solution and I think all parties are happy with it,” the 35-year-old Olic told Kicker.

“Now I am looking forward to playing for HSV. That is a new challenge.

“I am 35, I have prepared well during the winter break and I am ready to play against Koln on Saturday.”

The Croatia international scored 29 goals in 78 Bundesliga games during his previous two-and-a-half-year spell at Hamburg before joining Bayern Munich in 2009.
