Despite Barcelona interest: top talent set to stay at HSV? | OneFootball

Despite strong interest from Germany and abroad, there are currently many signs suggesting that attacking talent Lotta Wrede will remain with HSV for the time being.

The 18-year-old is considered one of the biggest young prospects in German women’s football and has recently been linked with several top clubs. In addition to domestic heavyweights Wolfsburg and Munich, FC Barcelona is also said to be closely monitoring the winger.

A video showing Wrede at the training ground of the Spanish giants recently fueled further speculation. A departure from Hamburg in the near future seemed only a matter of time. But according to current information from the Hamburger Abendblatt, the future of the U19 international could remain much more closely tied to HSV than previously thought.

What is particularly striking is that, despite her contract expiring on June 30, the Rothosen have not yet officially said goodbye to Wrede. This could be an indication that both sides are still working on a shared future. According to the report, there are several possible scenarios: Wrede could sign a contract with FC Barcelona and then be loaned back to HSV for another season. A contract extension in Hamburg with a later transfer is also not out of the question.

Lotta Wrede: Staying at HSV because of injury?

Wrede’s injury situation also appears to play an important role. Since suffering a foot injury in early April while on duty with the Germany U19 national team, the attacking player has been working on her comeback. So far, she has not yet returned to the training pitch.

That is precisely why another year at the Volkspark could be a sensible option for everyone involved. There, Wrede would have the chance to fully recover in familiar surroundings and then gain valuable match practice at the highest domestic level. At Champions League winners Barcelona, her opportunities for playing time would naturally be much more limited.
