It was a shock – for the player and the clubs. The transfer of BVB talent Almugera Kabar (19) to Hamburger SV seemed to be a done deal. However, the left-back failed the mandatory medical check. The final word has not yet been spoken, though.

This winter, Kabar will not be joining HSV. The window for a transfer within Germany closed on February 2nd. However, the cards seem to be reshuffled for the upcoming summer.

In Dortmund, the youngster from Bremen is still waiting for his breakthrough. Since joining the club in 2019, Kabar has made five appearances for the professionals – all in the 2024/25 season. In the current season, he has been on the bench four times at the start.

The football home of the German-Libyan is currently the Regionalliga, where he has played ten times for BVB's U23 team (scoring four goals and providing one assist). He also played a match in the Premier League International Cup for U21 teams.

Under contract until 2028

Kabar's contract with the Black and Yellows runs until 2028. However, due to better prospects, he planned his departure to the Hanseatic club. He watched the 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich at the end of January from the stands of the Volksparkstadion.

The trip to the Elbe was meant to be a short stint. The medical check revealed a ligament strain, resulting in an absence of three to four weeks. HSV canceled the transfer because Kabar would not have been an immediate help.

However, the move of the 2023 U17 World and European champion to Hamburg might only be postponed, as reported by the Hamburger Morgenpost. According to Claus Costa (41), Director of Professional Football at the northern club: “Of course, he remains on our radar. Otherwise, we wouldn't have engaged with him.” It's possible that Kabar might still wear the HSV jersey starting next summer.
