Deal agreed: HSV reserve player just waiting for the green light! | OneFootball

A farewell to Immanuel Pherai from HSV is drawing increasingly closer. The playmaker is apparently on the verge of leaving the club for the 2. Bundesliga.

Specifically, 1. FC Nürnberg has shown great interest in signing Pherai. Coach Miroslav Klose is said to have identified him as his preferred solution for the attacking midfield.

According to information from Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg, there is already an agreement between the player and the club. Only the final approval from HSV is still pending. “Nürnberg is pushing to get the deal over the line,” the transfer expert reported on Tuesday afternoon. Talks are currently ongoing, with both a loan with an option to buy and a permanent transfer considered realistic scenarios.

HSV: Pherai departure if new signings arrive?

Pherai joined HSV from Eintracht Braunschweig in the summer of 2023 for around €750,000. After a decent debut season, in which he contributed three goals and five assists in 29 league games, the Dutch-born player nevertheless fell well short of the high expectations.

Several injuries, illness-related absences, and long trips to the Surinamese national team further hampered his development. By now, Pherai hardly plays a role in Merlin Polzin’s squad. He was even left out of the squad entirely for the recent city derby against FC St. Pauli (0:0).

Whether and when HSV will actually let the player go now depends on further personnel planning. After the serious injury to Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit, a temporary transfer ban was imposed to avoid further weakening the already struggling offense. Only once an adequate replacement is found will it become clear that the 24-year-old will leave the Red Shorts for the lower division. Good news for Pherai: By deadline day, HSV wants to sign at least one, possibly even two, new attacking players.
