Daniel Heuer Fernandes has established himself as HSV’s first-choice goalkeeper this season, beating out Daniel Peretz, the loanee from FC Bayern Munich. The Red Shorts’ keeper has recently been a reliable pillar for the team, keeping two consecutive clean sheets and conceding only one goal in three matches.
In Hamburg, people are pleased with “DHF,” the goalkeeper who can also make an impact with the ball at his feet. But of course, there is a topic surrounding him: his contract is set to expire at the end of the 2025/26 season.
And since he is now at a more advanced age, the 32-year-old is also giving it some thought. Is this perhaps his last major contract? Does he want to take on a new challenge one more time? All of this is playing a role around him.
In general, it’s noticeable that Heuer Fernandes feels very comfortable in Hamburg. He has the ideal environment, is now playing in the Bundesliga, and has a good chance of staying up with HSV. That definitely speaks in favor of the club, where he has become an integral part of the team.
But what does he say himself? In an interview with SportBILD, his future was also a topic. “We’ve only just finished the sixth matchday and still have a long way to go to achieve our goal. That’s where my focus is right now. Of course, I can imagine my future in Hamburg. I’m happy to be here, so HSV is always a natural option for me,” said the goalkeeper.
According to his statement, there have not yet been any talks up to this point. But that’s not a problem, because: “I don’t currently see contract extension as priority number one, especially since it hasn’t even been discussed with those in charge yet.”
