At HSV, the focus is not only on the upcoming final stretch of the season, but also on the future of several loaned-out professionals.
No fewer than five players are currently under temporary contract with other clubs. Their prospects for the coming summer could hardly be more different.
The most positive developments are those of Lukasz Poreba and Immanuel Pherai. Both are on loan at SV 07 Elversberg and are involved in the 2. Bundesliga promotion race there. Poreba has been one of the key performers since the start of the season, while Pherai has also quickly established himself after his winter move. Even though the playmaker is still waiting for his first goal contribution for the Saarland side, he has been appearing in the starting XI more and more often in recent weeks.
For HSV, the situation is therefore quite comfortable: as reported by Mopo, Elversberg hold a purchase option for both players. A permanent departure is therefore considered quite likely and would be a logical solution for all parties.

The situation is significantly more complicated for Emir Sahiti. The attacking player made a flying start after his loan move to Maccabi Tel Aviv, putting up strong goal contributions early on. Then competition was halted due to the tense security situation in the Middle East. Although it is expected to resume soon, it will do so under special conditions and without spectators. What happens next for Sahiti remains unclear. Maccabi do, however, have a purchase option.
The situation is very different for Aboubaka Soumahoro and Joel Agyekum. The young defenders were actually supposed to gain match practice, but so far the opposite has happened. Agyekum is barely getting any minutes at Viktoria Köln, while Soumahoro is still waiting for his first appearance at AS Saint-Étienne. Both find themselves in a difficult sporting situation. As things stand, Soumahoro and Agyekum are likely to return to the Volkspark in the summer without any significant playing time.
