Youngest pro in HSV history: talent set to leave in summer! | OneFootball

The youngest professional player in the club’s history now appears to be on his way out. Omar Megeed and HSV are set to part ways this summer.

According to information from Transfermarkt.de, the 20-year-old attacking player has already received several offers from clubs in the 2. Bundesliga. It is therefore considered very likely that the Hamburg-born player will accept one of these offers and leave his hometown for the first time.

Megeed joined HSV’s youth academy in 2019 at the age of just 13 and made club history three years later. In the 2-0 win over Arminia Bielefeld, the midfielder made his professional debut in August 2022. At that point, he was just 16 years, 11 months and 25 days old. To this day, that makes him the youngest player ever to appear for HSV’s first team.

HSV talent set to leave!

However, the hoped-for breakthrough has yet to materialize. Although he made one more appearance for the first team, the youngster was never able to establish himself in either the Bundesliga or 2. Bundesliga. Instead, Megeed mainly gained match practice with the second team.

At the start of this year, the talent was still included in the first-team squad five times, but then returned to playing mostly for the U23s in the Regionalliga Nord. There, he has made 25 appearances and provided three assists this season.

A move to the 2. Bundesliga now seems like the logical next step. Several former Rothosen U23 players have recently taken this path successfully. The latest example is Moritz Reimers, whose signing was officially announced by Holstein Kiel on Friday. The 19-year-old winger’s HSV contract expires at the end of the season. Megeed may well follow his lead and also sign for a club in the second tier.
